Do you realize how vast CANADA IS ??
WHat time of year were you travelling ??
You do realize that due to the geographical location of where newfoundland is located it gets colder and stays colder longer than most parts of canada.
You do realize Ontario,quebec,vancouver etc share the same weather as many american cities????
You do realize we have four seasons ????

worked at the airport once and saw so many misinformed crazy americans coming off the airport in winter coats in the middle of summer ...they must of felt like fools !!!

You were flying at @30,000 Ft. where the temp would be -50, so us newfies were a lot warmer. Thanks for not stopping, we have a bad enough rep. already

Look at a map sometime. There is a whole lot of Canada that is farther south than a whole lot of the US.
Conversely, there is a whole lot of the US that is farther north than a whole lot of Canada.
And don't pick on the Newfies; they are great people.

Baloney! Parts of Newfoundland have risk of slight frost in late May, but the western sections already have average temperatures of 8 to 15 degrees Celcius (46 to 59 degrees on the old Fahrenberg scale used in the US).
If you had your glasses on, you would have realized you were looking at clouds.

when you live in a place you get used to the weather. I live in Pennsylvania and I say the winters here aren't really that bad...someone coming from Georgia would think different...they don't live here and would consider it very cold and nasty.

Are you sure you were flying over Newfoundland and not Greenland? The flight paths of most jets from UK to Canada and US go over Greenland, as it is the shortest route between the two continents.

Canada's a big country! What a shocker. In southern BC it hardly snows at all. In Toronto it can be 40C or around 105F in the summer and we don't get much snow either, especially in recent years. It depends where you are.

Are you sure it just wasn't a heavy frost (it too turns the land white). In late May frost or even snow happens however, by noon there is no trace of it (it does get hotter as the day goes on).
I live in Alberta, perhaps you should visit here in the middle of January when its -30 degrees Celsius with a wind chill of -43 + degrees Celsius.............now that's cold. Even the vehicles have a tough time thawing out, let alone starting.

well let me tell you,this is one Canadian girl who admits when it's cold,i wanna got to Tahiti for the winter!...xxx

It gets cold in Canada and in parts of the northern US. It certainly isn't warm, that's for sure.

ya in late may in southern ontario its pretty hot some days. Newfoundland is more northern then most but it might have just been a bad year for snow...

However when u live in canada ur blood thickens and thins when it needs to. In the winter months our blood is more thick thus giving us more internal heat i guess... but in the summer our blood is thinner so that we are not so hot we die. thats why when winter is ending and its 15*C in spring its relativly nice outside and we can walk outside with a t-shirt even with snow on the ground... But in the summer when were going into winter 15*C can feel like its freezing for some. our body adjusts to climate changes..

its really neat how the body adjusts to the temperatures..

Me, i like my warm weather. if i can get out of canada in the winter months to lets say somewhere warm like Texas ill go because i dont like snow and cold. But its just something we get use to for the most part.
