- tempestn 10y agoThe location will help, but it's not like Montreal is in the frozen tundra. It's about 30 miles from the border with Vermont. All of Washington state is north of Montreal.
- olalonde 10y agoIt's not the frozen tundra but you can't compare climates with latitude alone. Montreal still gets a lot colder than Washington State or Vancouver. Source: https://gfycat.com/UnlinedAdorableElectriceel https://gfycat.com/UnlinedAdorableElectriceel
- tempestn 10y agoHa, yes, I know. The reference to Vermont was more relevant. I actually chose Washington state intentionally over North Dakota since its mild climate made for a more striking comparison. Factually correct, but perhaps a bit misleading.
- bryanlarsen 10y agoIt may not be frozen tundra, but Montreal does get quite a bit of snow, a lot more snow than the tundra does. AWS should use one of those giant snow dumps for cooling purposes -- those things often have snow well into August.
