Crazy Weather events in your area

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

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.

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.

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.

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? :unsure:hmmm?


When can we google the question?:giggle:
 
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🤔

Will be bringing the Tang back home and travelling through New Brunswick the end of April. Are they still using salt with all the bad weather there? Hoping the roads will be salt free by then. Taking a short cut from Tampa through Vegas on my way home. Summers coming.

We had snow and freezing rain overnight and the roads are very bad and being salted. I was just out, my driveway is like a skating rink. Hopefully by the end of April we will have seen the last of the freezing weather and use of salt on the roads.
 
We had freezing rain mixed with rain, road temps were high enough, nothing stuck
to the ground, I had a truck out just incase few high way trucks were out not salting,
City was salting, but they always salt, bunch of idiots.

I have had enough of this shit, we need some version of spring and this one is
not it, :cry:

On another note, buying the Raptor has proven to be a very good decision,
I will never off road with it, but driving off road in this city requires
the same capabilities with the pot holes :unsure:

Man...and here I thought I had it bad when it started to rain just after I mowed the lawn, so I wasn't able to rake it...

Bill Us folks down here like you, but you keep posting about west coast weather
with the shit show winter we have had, we might have to pick on you a little :p
 
for the record, small chance of freezing rain tomorrow morning, then +8 and rain
calling for 2-4 cm tuesday, this shit needs to stop. I realize not enough to slow anyone down,
but more salt on road, which means more rain needed to clean up so we can drive,

Also on another note, keeps everything softer and wetter, whcih means my work is
dleayed another week or 2 :cry: no work, nor driving, no F-1 in April that only
leaves hockey and whisky.
