>> What's that going to look like?

There is a very graphic way to understand the problem.

Some cities in Canada are Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Quebec, Winnipeg or Regina.

London and Berlin are closer to the North Pole that any of these

-----------------------

Minimum temperature registered in London -17 Celsius. In Quebec and Montreal: -36 and -37.8 Celsius.

Berlin is a little closer than London to the North Pole but also more continental, so more like Regina in that sense.

Berlin lowest temperature registered is -15 Celsius, and in Regina: -40 Celsius

... And Edinburgh is closer to the North pole than any of these, and a little Northern than Manitoba, where reaching -40 Celsius a few nights is expected each year, and more than 30 Celsius in the summer is normal.
