Hi , My hometown is 4 hours away from St.Johns . We are planning on moving to St.Johns in December , Im hoping to get my nursing degree. It's a really great place , lot's to do and see . I can't wait to get back to the Rock , the north is just too cold for me .The average winter temperature here is -50 and its total light in the summer and total darkness in the winter , can't wait to get back to the real life . One think for sure if yer moving to St.Johns , get ready for tons , I mean tons of snow in the winter , It piles up to the tops of the malls , its crazy , but the summer is very warm in Newfoundland . Im sure you will like it , let me know how the move goes .
