Re: 5 years in Nova Scotia
It would be better to start a new one of your own asking about NS winters in the main Canada forum, where no doubt loads of NS'ers will be happy to help, or even PM Cookie.

Re: 5 years in Nova Scotia
10 years in Canada later this year... 8 and a bit in Southern Ontario, and 1 and a bit in Nova Scotia, so far. We loved Ontario, and we love Nova Scotia just as much (if not more). We like the idea of being snowbirds (6 months in NS and 6 months in Florida or South Carolina) for retirement.

Re: 5 years in Nova Scotia
Hi Cookie - many congratulations on your 5 year Canniversary. I stumbled across your post by searching for Nova Scotia weather! We are hoping to come to NS within the next year or 2 and I wondered if you could tell me a little more about the winter weather as it is my main concern - I am a nurse and so would be working nights! So glad you have settled so well, we lived in Australia for a while but returned to the UK for family reasons - I am really hopeful that NS will work out for us - lovely to see so many expats supporting oneanother!..by the way, we in the UK have been told not to expect much sun until September!!
This winter was an easy one. Not very cold, only down to about -15C or so instead of -20 to -30C. Not much in the way of snow either. We haven't had too much rain which is a worry. Normally it chucks it down in May but it's been quite dry. Spring came early and we have just received the start of our summer humidity which will last until September. Not bad at the moment but can be a real struggle for me (more so than the cold). Having lived in Australia then I am sure the summer here will be fine.
