"The more you use your iNaturalist and develop that sort of nature connection, the more you want to do it. You start to realize you're really contributing and becoming more aware of the world around you," said DeRocco. And if there is plenty of snow on the ground, don't let that deter you from taking a hike through the forest. It’s important for people to experience the thrill of the chill by getting outside, soaking up some winter sunshine, and connecting with nature," said DeRocco. During the winter months, many of us will "cocoon and isolate inside," he said, noting it was particularly more common during rotating COVID-19 lockdowns. That's the focus of Below Zero. The theme of the initiative this year is "Adaptable Animals," DeRocco said. To encourage Canadians to get outdoors, the Canadian Wildlife Federation (CWF) has compiled a list of 50 fun things to do outside. “We’ve since it expanded it in January and February because all Canadians living in the Great White North have to deal with winter.

“I said, ‘Well, I’m not asking you to believe in the politics,’” Norton said. When meteorologists have raised concerns about the politics of Real America’s Voice, he has always pointed back to WeatherNation’s mission and essential function, he said. Pluto TV, a free streaming service operated by ViacomCBS that carries WeatherNation and Real America’s Voice, was meanwhile expected to surpass $1 billion of ad revenue this year, according to eMarketer. “It reminds me of what the Weather Channel looked like 20 years ago — very basic experience with elementary graphics, elevator music played behind local updates, et cetera,” said Michael Greeson, the principal analyst for Aluma Insights, a research firm focused on streaming video. Former WeatherNation employees said they were proud of their coverage and believed it drew significant viewership during major weather-news events such as hurricanes.
