Cape Breton is a bit more northerly and sticking out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and they have pretty bad spring weather. They're somewhere in between mainland NS and Newfoundland. Yarmouth is +12 right now.
With this kind of weather pattern there isn't really anything to protect them from very cold air and ocean currents coming down from around Labrador.
I find sometimes Atlantic Canada or the Maritimes are presented like a "place" and you'll hear about the "weather in NS" or similar. But if you were in Ontario, people would understand that Toronto and Sudbury won't necessarily be the same. Around here I also sometimes hear people talk about what the weather used to be back home on the east coast, and they mean Deer Lake or Gander, where snow in June isn't the norm but also isn't totally impossible.
