That's probably the warmest part of Canada(Vancouver). If there's any place i'd go where i could stay in Canada but enjoy some warmer weather it's there. I don't think they go much colder than -5C.
Were such a huge landmass that the weathers different everywhere. Vancouver area is the warmest in the country but rainy. Alberta, Saskatchewan(Where I am

) and Manitoba don't get too much snow(Usually

) but winters are cold as fuck because it's all flat farmland so when the wind picks up the windchills are usually around -40/-60C. Ontario and Quebec don't get as cold as we get here but they get shitloads of snow. The maritime provinces get piles of snow also. Newfoundland always seems to get hit hard every year.
Where do you live now JD?
