1914 starts off sharp and cold. February stands out right away, with an average of -14.3°C. On February 22, it drops to -27.2°C. It is the coldest day of the year. Snow builds through the early months, reaching a total of 159.3 cm. February brings the most, with 45.7 cm, and a single day in January, the 13th, adds 19.1 cm in one go.

As the year shifts, the air softens. By July, the average temperature reaches 23.0°C. Then, late in the season, there is a stretch of real heat. September 22 and 24 both hit 31.1°C. It is the kind of warmth that lingers, even as the year starts to turn.

Rainfall adds up to 669 mm across the year. June carries the most, with 109 mm. On June 16, nearly 28 mm falls in a single day. You can almost picture it. Steady, heavy rain tapping against windows, the ground soaking it in.

There are no major storms recorded in Atlantic Canada this year, though one tropical storm forms out in the Atlantic.

Overall, the average temperature for the year is 5.4°C. This is represented in yarn by the colour jade.

Note: 1914 is the earliest data set for this project. Leap year is not accounted for in this blanket section. All other years that do not have a leap year include a row of the mixed colour where February 29th should be. 1914 is the only year I did not add the leap year place holder. May 1 should be grey, but was misread and was knit as light blue.
