That's just craziness talking. I moved to Nova Scotia in 1989 and absolutely love it. Halifax region. We hardly get any snow any more compared to years ago. I even sold my snowmobiles because, while we might get a few storms during the winter, it doesn;t ever seem to last. It's almost rare nowadays to have snow for Christmas. Any snow to disappear within a couple of days of it falling, certainly to the point it's not worth keeping snowmobiles for local trail riding any longer.
If you watched the news this past winter, BC and the Western provinves had
much more snow than we did ;)
The downside though is that our summers are getting ridiculously hot. If you have any knowledge of geography as it pertains to weather, we are basically surrounded by water and the jet stream swoops right above us, bringing warm air from the South before it turns East out over the Atlantic. It is definitely humid here at times.... but nowhere near the cold or the humidity I've every experienced in Ontario or Quebec... the lake effect snow, arctic air masses, and ridiculous humidity were ultimately what drove me to move East.
I'm partial to the Eastern Seabord, but if want to live near an ocean, you can't go wrong with either coast.
