The name should conjure up almost as much excitement as a board slamming hockey game, though. You can bet your puck it does on a lovely province of Canada named “Prince Edward Island.” Located way the froock fruck up north, it’s tucked in off the northern coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and is one of the fabled Canadian “maritime provinces.”
Nicknamed “PEI,” the island’s tourism arm describes it thusly:
A breathtaking destination, filled with wandering trails, endless beaches, and unique experiences everywhere you look.
They’re even encouraging webpage visitors to “Warm up to Winter” right now with some pretty inviting pictures of seasonal activities. But at an average snowfall of 114 in. with lows running from 11-26°F, plus wind chills often dropping that to a real feel of -13°F or so, bundling up would be the prudent word of the day if you were venturing out.
Speaking of the wind, the Canadian government – in their typically understated fashion – also notes that, while the climate is “mild” because of proximity to the Gulf, the breeze can be brisk on PEI.
