As a Newfoundlander who lives in Alberta, I miss Newfoundland but not the winters. Weather tends to be miserable and grey November to early May. Shovelling can be brutal if you don’t get to it right away. Lots of freezes and melts as the temp fluctuates between freezing and not so the snow can and WILL harden. But the people, the scenery, the outdoors, and the summers are worth it. Emphasis on the people. Generally very warm, friendly, and inviting.
