1916 leans hard into winter. Snow keeps piling up, reaching 253.7 cm by the end of the season. March alone brings 75.7 cm, and on March 16, more than 30 cm falls in a single day. It’s the kind of snow that clings to everything. February is the coldest month, averaging -10.8°C, and on the 15th the temperature drops to -28.3°C, sharp enough to make you hesitate before stepping outside.

When the seasons shift, they don’t rush. Rain adds up to 647 mm over the year, with October standing out at 136.7 mm. On October 1, just over 39 mm falls in a day, steady and soaking. You can picture the ground already damp, leaves starting to stick where they land.

Summer brings a different kind of weight. August is the warmest month, averaging 24.7°C, but the hottest days come earlier, with July 12, 13, and 22 all reaching 31.1°C. That kind of heat tends to linger, even after the sun goes down.

Out in the Atlantic, it’s a busy year with 30 storms forming, including 15 tropical storms, 10 hurricanes and 5 major hurricanes. None of them make it to Atlantic Canada.

The year holds steady at an average of 6°C, represented by the colour jade.
