Wasn't it Freddy Fender who sang the song, "What a difference a degree makes"?

I find it so odd that it's so much milder here being we are several degrees North compared to your location in
Cole Harbour. Apparently the blame is from the Coriolis effect.

Knowing a lot of people in BC that brag all winter, that'll be my guess

Province wide, I think Nova Scotia.
West coast of BC and lower mainland is warm but interior and north can get very cold too so for provincial average, NS, tempered by surrounding water is my guess.

Western side of a continent is always warmer than central or eastern side.
Warmer air from over the ocean brought by jet stream.
Same thing happens in Europe.
Most of Norway is close to or above arctic circle but their western coast is warm like BC with lots of rain.
Their snow is in the interior on the country.

You may be correct.
The small size of NS means the provinces entirety is in more southern location, so the extreme cold of many other larger provinces reaching further northward, isn't a consideration.
The lower winter temperatures in regions of northern BC may well lower the Provinces overall average.
I'm not sure how they could even calculate an average temp, there is so much diversity, and BC is so huge. Would the long, almost year round mild temperatures on the southern coastal regions, and the extremely high summer temperatures of our interior regions, balance out the low minus temps of the north? hmmm?


When can we google the question?

The winner is Marc
Yes it’s Nova Scotia
Yarmouth is quite warm compared to cape breton, but the temperature is not as big of extremes

BC has lower mainland but white caps on mountains almost always
Southern Ontario same idea but they got north bay

That said our wi tee still sucks
