Nova Scotia

Yes!

it does snow in Nova Scotia.

Some people think Nova Scotia is a tropical area but i can assure you it is not, it is really more like sub tropical. It is not quite suitable for growing banana's, but can sustain other warm weather plants.

Snow periodically shows up but usually melts quickly due to our subtropical climate, it doesn't accumulate year to year like it does in other provinces and therefore it doesn't form glaciers and such glacial features.

Nova Scotia is primarily rural, with about 40% of its population living in urban areas, mainly in Halifax, the provincial capital. The majority of the province consists of small towns and rural communities, characterized by picturesque landscapes and a strong connection to the sea. This rural setting plays a significant role in the province's culture, economy, and lifestyle.

The Canadian province of Nova Scotia is surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of St Lawrence; except for where it borders the province of New Brunswick. The province of PEI is in the gulf of St Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland is in the North Atlantic. Maine, USA borders New Brunswick and not Nova Scotia, but is the way most Atlantic Canadians access the USA and the most eastern USA seaboard state residents access Canada.

Nova Scotia is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the south and east, by the Bay of Fundy to the west and by the Northumberland Strait and the Gulf of St. Lawrence on the north.

Nova Scotia is a long narrow peninsula with a length of about 350 to 360 miles long and an average width of 60 miles. That is very near the same length as Florida from North to South and about 1/2 the width of Florida from West to East.

The entire length of Nova Scotia can be driven easily in a day.

NS is not an island,, could be driven in 10-12 hrs.

If you fly it takes 2 hours (but with time change it feels like 3).

To drive it takes 17 hours with no sleep. So about two days if you rest. My husband and I recommend stopping at the large Irving rest stop in New Brunswick and again for a nap once you are into Nova Scotia, if you are heading all the way to the south end (Ex. Digby).

The United Kingdom is 2,790 miles (4,490 kilometers) from Nova Scotia.

The Bay of Fundy is between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. However Nova Scotia is a peninsula (pin inch u la) and not an island. So we are not actually separated from the rest of Canada.

A peninsula is an area of land that is surrounded on all sides with water EXCEPT one little arm that connects it to main land. An island has no above water connections to other land masses.

It is about 5,890

The population for Nova Scotia is 940,000.

Peggy's Cove is popular as a very scenic tourism location, calendar photo, and for the SwissAir 111 crash off shore there in 1998. However Nova Scotia has much more than that to be famous for - to name just a few:

Sidney Crosby, the final goal scorer at the 2010 Olympics Gold Medal hockey game;

the highest daily tidal change in the world in the Bay of Fundy - up to 50';

Dalhousie University in Halifax;

Samuel Cunard ran his huge steamship line from Nova Scotia;

many of the recovered bodies from the Titanic are buried in Nova Scotia;

Halifax Harbour and the adjoining Bedford Basin was the staging area for all trans-Atlantic convoys of troops and supplies for both the WWI and WWII effort; it was also the site of the Halifax Explosion during WWI with remnants still visible;

Stanfield's Knitting Mills in Truro has supplied long-johns (and other garments) to Canadians for decades;

Nova Scotia had the first province-wide, all public safety agency, two-way radio system in North America;

and perhaps the most visible famous Nova Scotian is the schooner Bluenose which appears on the obverse of the Canadian dime and has been there for years - and she still sails every summer between Halifax and her home in Lunenburg.
