Climate

Barrie a total of 700 millimetres of precipitation per year,and 200cm of snow. With coldest average temperatures in January of -8 Celsius and warmest average temperatures in July of -26 Celsius. The area sits around 45 degrees, midway between the North Pole and the Equator. The region's proximity to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay has a moderating effect on the climate in the area. The area is the convergence of two weather patterns, one from the southwest brining warm humid air (all the way from the Gulf of Mexico, actually) and from the northwest brings drier Artic air. In the summer the area is drier and sunnier, and in the winter colder, cloudier and snowier. The stabilizing effect of the Great Lakes means that Falls stay frost-free longer and the Spring comes later.
