Nova Scotia's South Coastal weather is somewhat temperate, and while it certainly has a winter, it is nothing as severe as, say, Chicago's or Milwaukee's or Winnipeg's. It is not uncommon to see green grass in December, or people sailing on Christmas Day. Christmas Day, 2008, it was 46F., while at the same time in the Windy City it was 8F! Temperatures are given in celcius, so don't panic if you see it's '25' in July - it's really about 77. Whatever it is in New York City, we'll be about 10 degrees [F.] less a day later as the weather moves up the coast. Coast-FM will give the temperature in both systems so there is no confusion. Our broadcast area will be closer to the equator than the North Pole, and the Gulf Stream goes right by us, a fact that keeps the ocean somewhat temperate. For example the water is a lot warmer than that along the California coast, even down around Laguna. People surf year 'round, BUT [and it's a huge 'but'] in the winter anyone would trade the ocean here for that around Laguna Beach.
We're not trying to paint the
area as a 'banana belt,' but in the early part of January, 2009, the
area was 78 degrees F. warmer than Minneapolis!
Our 'Links' page will transport you to amazing places. And people. Especially, the people.
Happy searching and come see us! Halifax International Airport has five U.S. airlines flying into it, and non-stop service
from Chicago, Newark, Laguardia, JFK, Boston, Washington, Toronto,
Montreal, London, Paris, Amsterdam and [take a coat!] Iceland. And
yes, even Bermuda!

P.S. Below are two future fans of Coast-FM, my daughter [She's on the left of Alissa] and her cousin. The Mahone Bay Visitors Guide knows beauty when they see it, putting this picture on their home page!
By the way, you future CFAs out there, that's Chester Harbour in the background. Wouldn't it be nice to visit? Better yet, if you lived here, you could run over to Tom Selleck's house for coffee - he might even like you and invite you to his Black Point ocean-front home near Diamond Head! Now, there be some serious ocean-front!
