Please share some knowledge on summers too
Answer:
Nah. Alot of the 'it's freezing there' rhetoric is pure hype. It's pretty mild. It's not Alaska!
We do get snow. Some winters lots, some winters, not so much. The wind is worse than the dead cold.
Summers are hot, hot, hot! The temperatures are really warm in the summer, sometimes smog is a problem.
Answer:
it depends on where you live. The summers can be beautiful!

Answer:
In the far north winters can be brutal… they actually plow roads across the lakes and run tractor trailers over them in the winter..Southwest B.C. is quite mild…not a lot of frost and freezing temps there…Newfoundland Island is pretty cold with lots of snow (and moose..lol) in the very long winter and cool summers. Eastern provinces are cold but not frigid cold and the summers are very nice..not cold and not to hot….guess it all depends on where you want to go .
Answer:
Depends what you mean by extreme.
I live in Alberta (Western Canada) and our winters are not too bad. Throughout the year our temperatures can range from 35C in summer, to-40C in winter, although it can get as cold as -50 in the North. Wind chill is also a factor. We are fortunate that we get to experience 4 distinct seasons and each one is beautiful.
Answer:
i live in southern ontario, niagara region and its great! right now it's -12c and slightly overcast with sun peeking out. we just got about 10 cm of snow yesterday, and it's a winter wonderland. gorgeous.
summers can get pretty hot and humid here, but like i said, it's a great mix all around. spring will probably hit around early to mid april, summer will get going in mid june, and fall really gets going (colours) in early to mid october. the heavy winter doesn't start till january. not many a white christmas here, but still great!!!!
Answer:
Somewhere like Toronto Ontario is not too bad, I live in Minnesota which is more northern, the winter here is was worse. Toronto area does tend to get a lot of snow. Once they had a major snow storm and the army came in to clear the snow.
I have been to colder places like Thunder Bay, ON, where my snot freezes, my eyes hurt because they are so cold, there are warning not to stay outside for too long due to the risk of frost bite. Some places require you to put chains on your tires due to the amount of snow. Sometimes your car may not start because it is too cold. These days are rare but they do happen.
Answer:
Here's a link to the minimum, maximum and average temperatures and precipitation levels in several cities across the country:

Answer:
I came from Labrador (north east of Quebec) and the winters there were brutal. They wouldn't even close the high school unless it was -72 C with the wind chill, otherwise we never would have went to school (waiting for the bus in -60 C wind chill was quite normal). When you go outside your eyelashes and nosehairs would literally freeze. If you spit it would be frozen before it hit the ground. All vehicles needed a block heater and had to be plugged in when not running or else they would never start. Our town averaged 14 feet of snow accumulation per winter. Summers were not hot - they averaged 18-23 degrees. A sweltering hot day would be 25 or over.
Then I lived in Southern Ontario for five years. It was very different. It still got cold, and we still got snow, but it was a joke compared to what I grew up in. They all considered -20 C to be absolutely freezing. Anything colder was unbearable. But you didn't need to plug in your car so it really wasn't all that bad. The summers were brutally hot (at least for me). Average temps were around 30 degrees or higher, plus there would usually be a humidex, pushing the temp easily to 35 or above, often it would reach the 40s. The summers were the main reason I left Ontario - I don't do well in the heat - look where I grew up!
Now I live in Vancouver. We get very little snow and a freezing cold day is about 1 degree C. Temperatures dip into the minuses overnight and in the early morning, but it is very rare for it to stay in the minuses during the day. Right now, we've been seeing temps of about 8-10 degrees. Spring has definately sprung in this neck of the woods! Summers get hot but not TOO hot, and there is rarely a humidex. Temps average between 25-30 degrees. Personally I am good at about 23, but I am just thankful there is no humidity here!
Answer:
winter in the Toronto area isn't too bad, they have the odd minus 25 days,you have to get used to living with snow for 6 months of the year but that's no big deal
I'm Australian and if i can handle winter here anyone can
