Halifax had a good year by its standards, but the snow must have gotten a little excessive sometimes, as well as that cold rain. I really like the thought of July and August being that consecutively good. Last times that happened over here with a relatively similar thermal regime that we have were 1997 and 2002.
If we are going to compare climate at least get correct data.Montreal is way colder than that climate table list from op. I'm not sure what their source is for that. The link for OFFICIAL climate normals for Canada:
Trudeau airport in monteal has an average high of -5.3 degrees Celcius in January, which is 22 degrees Fahrenheit. Not 28 as listed in the climate data. That's a huge difference when talking averages. Anyone who has spent anytime at all in Canada knows Montreal is like an icebox compared to Toronto. Someone needs to fix that Wikipedia page.
And the average low is 6.8 degrees F for jan(-14C), not 13 for Montreal

Oh I see what they did, they only listed 1 year. What silliness. 2016 was a super mild winter. You need to look at climate normals to compare climate, not 1 year. You could have nyc with 75 inches of snow if you just looked at 1995. It's one year. You can't use 1 year to compare climates.
I wouldn't put too much emphasis on this. Montreal and Toronto pretty much "feel" the same in mid-summer.
There is a bigger difference between the two cities in the winter, but it's not as dramatic as BeyondTheHudson is saying.
If Montreal is an "icebox" in winter, then what is Toronto? Definitely not a greenhouse...
They're both variants on the same climate: Toronto is at the milder end of it, whereas Montreal is in the middle of it. (And a place like Quebec City would be towards the colder end.)
