How much land in Canada is covered by snow?

Answer 1

Only one, the USA

Answer 2

The Canadian Cryosphere

Some parts of Canada, known as the Canadian Cryosphere, are covered in snow all year round. This snow never melts as the temperatures are too low and the ground stays frozen (called perma-frost). The Cryosphere is rapidly changing as temperatures in the Canadian arctic have been increasing at twice the global average over the last 100 years.

Typiccally however, snow coverage can be expected as follows:

• Winter - 100% snow coverage
• Spring & fall - roughly 2/3 of Canada is covered in snow
• Summer - roughly 1/3 of Canada, The Canadian Cryosphere, stays frozen and covered with snow all year

Snow covers over 1/3 of Canada's surface all year round. In the winter almost all 100% of Canada is covered but this is reduced in spring and fall months to about 2/3 snow coverage of Canada's surface
