Well, I don't know about the rest of the country, because the weather varies a little bit. It's winter though, where I live there's tons of snow and it's about -18 degrees Celsius. socked_feet
Do you live in northern Manitoba? I guess you live in northern Manitoba or in northern Quebec because only in these places it gets that cold already in 20 November. In Yukon territory and Alaska it's also very cold in this date.
I live in Haifa, Israel. Today it was cloudy and we also had a little rain at noon. We have no snow in Israel except on mount Hermon with a peak 2236 meter high. Currently it's 21°C in Haifa.
According to what I learned latitude and altitude are the two decisive factors determining climate. The higher the latitude or the closer to the poles the colder it's gonna get in winter.
If i could choose which country to live in I would probably choose Canada. Although Canada has places which are way too cold (like Ellesmere island in the north and Mount Logan in Yukon) most of Canada fits my criteria of: a) winter being longer than summer or b) cold most of the year. Although southern Canada is not cold most of the year, it has cold snowy winters and is not too hot in summer.
When I was in Montreal (Canada) in 29's April this year, the temperature there was 0°C and even -1°C and it was very windy. You could feel the cold continental polar air masses coming from northern Canada. Only during one week we have -1°C during winter in Haifa but winters are generally snowless except in the Hermon in the north. Montreal is also much colder and snowy than Zurich (Switzerland) during winter (despite Zurich being slightly more north) because of the large landmass of North America and because of the proximity of Montreal to the Atlantic Ocean and also to the cold Labrador current.
