You are lucky, You would have a pretty long harvest season then !! our winters start in summer, they end earlier tho, it's not uncommon to hit summer temperatures in march and have all of the snow melt in a week .Sometimes I forget the winds from the ocean do help in keeping things warmer for winter. In Alberta we are landlocked get our winds from the north ( Polar vortex....brrr). It has officially snowed somewhere in Alberta every month of the year.
