This may be true, but the temperature distribution
is not monotonically-falling as you go North. The pattern
"doesn't make sense". When my sister has a -40C day,
it can be warmer in the arctic, and she is well below the arctic circle.
I think my sisters place, it starts to snow around end of September.
The growing season is short, but you can still grow stuff outside.
Her weather can be +1C on one day ("Chinook") and -40C the next.
There can be a larger variation than in the arctic circle.
But places like the Yukon can still set a good cold for you, like
-60C last winter for a stretch. The pictures they take up there,
their external thermometer cannot read any lower than that.
And in the Arctic now, they can be wearing short sleeve shirts
this week. They can take a boat out to their "fishing camp" (ice free),
they can fish and set up drying racks for dried fish. Make no
mistake, the water is cold and you don't want to fall out of the boat.
Because the North is known for food-insecurity (food is more expensive
there), you can't afford to get all your food from the "General Store".
The Arctic has had more temperature shift and change than
other areas due to climate change. In the summer, they would
have been wearing long sleeved shirts and staying out of the wind :-)
On our East Coast, it can be like that too. It's strange what I'd
pack for a trip there. Sure, it can be blazing hot there, but
there can also be days where all exposed skin is covered too.
Even perception of temperature is weird. I went out to Cali on business,
and on weekend, I decided to go to the beach. I was wearing shorts and
Tshirt. Well, people there, are riding horses along the beach, they're
wearing jeans and heavier clothing up top. And I'm thinking "you must
be boiling in that outfit", for as an East Coaster, the day was plenty
warm and no complaint.
On the East Coast, if you travel through the woods (on the way to your
secret fishing spot), you can still find the odd snow drift still
hasn't melted (in June!). It takes a pretty big drift to last that
long, and the woods in that case are "heavy". It may have started
as a ten foot drift, and there were still a few feet of it left.
I had to get on hands and knees and use a rabbit trail, to get
through one section near there. To fish there, departure time is 3AM.
That's when you're climbing into the car, to head out. That's so
you can fish at dawn or thereabouts. That's "technical" fishing,
as only the "quiet people" get a fish, for lunch (trout). You can't
fill your boots with fish, on a trip there. You need a lake to
fill your boots.
If you live in Newfoundland, snow can cover one or both doors on
your house. If you buy or build a house, make sure the second floor
window opens big enough so you can jump out :-) Then you have to
shovel your way back through the drift, to get back into the house.
For anyone who jumps into snow like that (I've done this a few times),
you have to be careful where you're jumping. You have to know
where the hard pack is, where the soft snow is. You can't just
jump any old place, or you'll hurt yourself. I've done a lot of
tunneling in snow, never had a collapse or come near suffocation.
I'm pretty proud of my safety record in snow :-)
So that's a quick trip around the country. There were no snow drifts
in BC, in the place that got the 47C heat dome. I consider that to
be one "anomalous" temperature record. That's just not normal.
