Re: Australia better than Canada?
Bear in mind this has been an odd winter - we had a record snowfall this winter and record low temps in Regina this spring and nighttime lows are only going above freezing as of tonight. Calgary is a little milder than Edmonton or Regina because they get the occasional chinook over the mountains to warm things up. Normaly on the prairies the ice is just gone off the lakes in the south, but they're still covered.
Yeah, they're all getting to the end of the tether now with the snow just starting to melt. The posts on fb from frustrated Albertans have been amusing. "Where is spring already OMFG...aaaaaargh" 
First snowfall is often by the end of October. There's something like a 50/50 chance of bringing the kids Trick-or-Treating in snowsuits and winter boots.
Definitely snow by November unless it's an El Nino year.
If you would rather the -40 than +40, then I suspect you'll do just fine.
