I'll put Quebec up against anywhere on Earth for whacked out weather. Temperature swings of 20+ degrees celsius are common. I went to bed one night and it was raining, it was about +6. It was -32 when I woke up. That cost me $600 because I didn't turn on the basement heater before bed and the pressure tank froze, burst, and the submersible pump burned itself out from running dry. That was the fastest drop I've seen.

New England can get pretty close to that, though Quebec sounds a bit worse. We've had it go from 72-30 degrees F many days. Not much ice or anything here yet, but that's just because it has been very dry.
