Most places in Canada dont have snow year round let alone at all, I live in Saskatewan and its +7 outside now thats a nice day the coldest it got here was -40 without the wind...in places like BC you can play golf year round so to anwer that no Canada isnt a big piece of ICE in the winter time.
And have fun on Vacation...Ill get one of those for the first time in my life soon, been at my current job for 11months on april 10th.
