The snow shovels and snow brushes are gathering dust so far this winter but Environment Canada reports at least 14cm of the white stuff has fallen.
Senior Climatologist with Environment Canada David Phillips says although Windsor-Essex has seen the snow, it has had no staying power.
"Certainly you would expect some snow to be on the ground," he says. "Well what's happened is that it often has been accompanied with some warmer temperatures. There was one day where it snowed about 4cm of snow, but there wasn't a freezing temperature on that day so as soon as it fell, it melted."
Phillips admits it has left residents asking 'where's the snow?' but a warm September and October have made it difficult for the snow to stick.
"There is no evidence of it," he says. "It just hasn't stayed around. It is almost as if it is not even here today, gone tomorrow. It is here today and gone today."
In comparison, at this time in 2017, 6cm of snow had fallen, but with colder temperatures, the snow remained on the ground.
As for a white Christmas, Phillips says the chances aren't looking good at this point.
Windsor-Essex saw a white Christmas in 2017 and 2016, but a green Christmas in 2013-2015.
The forecast is calling for a shorter and milder winter with fewer snow storms.
