Winter in Canada and the United States

The need for precautions varies with location. Cities with regularly long and snowy winters (such as Winnipeg) tend to have better winter utilities than cities such as New York City, where snow and cold temperatures are less common.

Regions colored gold/brown on the map to the right, especially towards the southern end of the map, rarely receive extremely cold weather, with the exception of high mountain peaks, and generally in these regions cold weather is not a major concern.
