Yes we get lots of heavy wet snow. And lots of dry snow as well. Where I'm at which is Moncton we get about 300 cm a year, which is way too much.
I use to like snow as a kid, but not now.
Say the average here is 4-5 bad snowouts per winter (wet or dry), what is the estimate for Moncton and coastal Nova Scotia respectively from someone living thereabouts? 15-20?

15-20 that sounds about right. Moncton definitely gets more snow than coastal Nova Scotia. Coastal Nova Scotia is lucky enough to get rain when we get snow.
When it rains here in mid winter, I'm usually happy. But then again I prefer to live in a rainforest climate.
Parts of Scotland had more than 25 days of rain in August. Some of these wet, mild oceanic climates in NW Scotland and NW England received nearly 30 inches of rain in December last year, and many towns and villages were devastated by the worst flooding in living memory. Some people have had their homes flooded out several times in the past few years. Some people had their homes flooded out more than once in the same month. These types of events seem to be increasing in frequency and potency.
At least climates like Moncton have a pleasant period of the year and generally don't have to worry about things like that.. snow might be a pain in the arse but water is one of the most destructive forces in the world, and I'm sure the thousands of people who were forced out of their homes last year as they were inundated by dirty floodwater would have preferred a foot of snow instead.. some of these people had no home to spend Christmas in.
A few years ago, I wanted to make a "Liverpool climate battle" involving the Australian and the English city, but I halted because many climate battles involving the (oceanic) UK cities and subtropical had the latter winning with the polls being lopsided. The UK climates have had a bad rep here, especially in the past few years. I don't know about now. Things change. There are new users. Should I make that poll this time with Liverpool NSW vs the one in the UK? But I still doubt that the UK would get a lot of votes.
A very tricky one. NS has a much longer and warmer warm period, but I think the cold and snow is a bit too much.
UK isn't very nice, but winters are a bit more bearable.
I choose the UK.
