About Winter in Canada and the United States
As Canadian and American mountain ranges go north-south, climate differences can be rather dramatic between locations at the same latitude, with occasional snowstorms down into the South. As a general principle, the inland (which makes up most of the North American continent) has larger temperature differences between summer and winter than the coast. The United States usesUS customary unitsfor weather reports, including degrees Fahrenheit (°F), and inches of mercury for air pressure. Since 1970, Canada has officially used the metric scale (including degrees Celsius), but imperial units (including °F) are still in traditional use. Near the US-Canadian border, US and metric units are used in parallel. SeeMetric and Imperial equivalentsfor details about unit conversions. Arctic Alaskaand muc
