It's not nice to call TownGuy a troll, no matter how true it is
I have an interesting story about Cobourg, Ontario if you have probably never heard of the place before.
Quote:
On 20 December 1951, Cobourg experienced media attention as a chartered Curtiss C-46 Commando airplane, bound for Newark, New Jersey, made an emergency landing in local farmer Charles Wilson's field, alongside Highway 2 and Roger's Road. The pilot had lost his way after losing radio contact, and unwittingly drifted north. The 44 passengers and three crew escaped unhurt, but extremely cold in the sub-zero temperatures. The plane, having crash landed on deep snow, was able to be repaired and the field smoothed out enough for it to get airborne again.

Glad I could expand your horizons
When I mentioned that there's a wide swath of half meter deep snow from one large body of water like Georgian Bay/Cottage Country all the way to another like the Gulf of St Lawrence, I was thinking of how Winter is all encompassing in Ontario and Quebec, and that deep snow in those two provinces is just ordinary and unremarkable in those parts, but I guess I could just as easily have said the same thing by saying Ottawa also has a half meter of snow on the ground & therefore very representative of those two provinces

here's hoping for a slower warm up for Ontario and Quebec to deal better with higher snow accumulations that will become more frequent with climate change.
