It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare latitudes of different areas of the world (I know, you did say 'fun fact', I'm referring more to the article). In CA we have a Mediterranean climate that lets me run around in t-shirts and shorts in the middle of winter. North of Cleveland (Pelee)? Not so much. I lived just off the Canadian border over in that area once. Once.
- ska 11y agoI think the bigger driver there is inland vs. coastal (though Atlantic vs. Pacific circulation makes a big difference, too).
- eloisant 11y agoActually if you want to fight the "Canada is buried under the snow" stereotype you should look at British Colombia (Vancouver, Victoria...) Being on the Pacific coast it's a much milder climate than the US East Coast. Being right to Seattle it's basically the same climate.
