That whole little upper corner (Newfoundland even worse, actually) gets doubly screwed - coastal means more rainfall, but the Gulf Stream leaves the Eastern Seaboard around Virginia (which is why it's cold in New England), so it's still freezing, so you get this (http://www.bitstop.ca/snow_2003.htm).

The west is great, though, if a bit hippie-vegetarian-ish XD; I miss my leather trench, though - didn't have space in my bags, so it's getting mailed to me.
