I know your snowfall totals are almost always less than ours, but 40-50 cm for an entire year is very little snow. At least to Canadians it is.

Vancouver and Victoria are considered generally "snow-free" in Canada and they average just under 40 cm a year.

Toronto is considered by most in Canada to be a fairly "low snow" city and is in the 120-140 cm range for an average.

^ Lots of places in Canada average under 100 cm. Just not a lot in Qwebeck. The only place in your province with under 100 cm is St Francois with 98 cm. 23% of all weather stations average under 100 cm, and 6% of all weather stations average less than 50 cm. Some average as low as 10 cm.

Some years places go the entire year without snow. This was the case in 2013, but not 2014. The least snowy place in Canada in 2014 was Langara, BC with 18.4 cm. The snowiest place in the country, also in BC, had 897 cm on Mount Fidelity near Revelstoke. The wettest place in Canada, Boat Bluff, BC, had 4.735 meters of precipitation. Kamloops was the driest place with 289 mm. The north was likely drier, but EC sucks to the point that all weather stations in the north glitched, and thus have missing data from 2014.

The hottest place in Canada was Ashcroft, BC with 41.7C (107F), and the place with the highest mean in Canada was Sisters Island, BC with an average temperature of 11.9. 2014 was the 11th warmest year on record in BC.

The coldest spot in Canada was Eureka, Nunavut with a -50.2C. This is the first time in recorded history that Eureka has been Canada's cold spot two years in a row. Even though it has the coldest average temperature in Canada, it has only ever been the extreme cold spot 3 other times besides the past two years. The Yukon is slipping.

If to talk some more about the temperatures of 2014 here one can notice that the biggest positive anomaly in 2014 occured certainly in February and March.the February in my nearest station was 5.4c warmer than average and March 4.2c. I monitored my neighbours as well and occures that the same phenomenon was for instance seen in Moscow where also February and March were the months which had the highest positive anomalies (about as big as here).


<However, it occures still that July average here was a bit higher than in Trondheim. Still we in turn got a bit lower average july temperature than Oslo and Turku.
