==Geography== The [[Tomifobia River]] runs through the town of Stanstead, dividing the Canada–US border at times. Along portions of Canada's Rue Canusa (Canusa Street), houses on the southern end of the street lie entirely within Vermont, while their driveways direct northward, and connect to the street in Quebec, as the northern portions of their properties are within Canada. These residents' backyard neighbours are American, while families living right across the street are Canadian, though no noticeable boundary exists between the two (the street itself is entirely within Canada). In other places, the international border runs through individual homes, so that meals prepared in one country are eaten in the other. An entire tool-and-die factory, once operated by the Butterfield division of [[Litton Industries]], is also divided in two by the border.<ref>{{Cite news | title = History of Butterfield's| newspaper = The Stanstead Journal| date = 1952-07-31| url = https://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=805&dat=19520731&id=KQ8MAAAAIBAJ&pg=1656,1467984}}</ref> ===Climate=== As typical of southern Quebec, Stanstead has a [[humid continental climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]]: Dfb)<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather-summary.php3?s=995536&cityname=Stanstead%2C+Quebec%2C+Canada&units=| title=Stanstead Quebec Climate Summary| publisher=Weatherbase| access-date=31 January 2015}}</ref> with significant differences of temperature between seasons. Summers are warm but rarely hot and are in general cooler than areas further west on similar parallels. Winters are cold considering its southerly latitude, further demonstrating the continental nature of the climate. The climate is relatively wet resulting in plenty of snowfall in winter.<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=995536&cityname=Stanstead-Quebec-Canada| title=Stanstead, Quebec Temperature Averages| publisher=Weatherbase| access-date=31 January 2015}}</ref> {{Weather box|location = Stanstead |metric first = Yes |single line = Yes |Jan record high C = 17.2 |Feb record high C = 15 |Mar record high C = 22.8 |Apr record high C = 29.4 |May record high C = 32.2 |Jun record high C = 33.5 |Jul record high C = 34.4 |Aug record high C = 33.3 |Sep record high C = 31.1 |Oct record high C = 27.8 |Nov record high C = 23.3 |Dec record high C = 15.6 |year record high C = 34.4 |Jan high C = -5 |Feb high C = -3.1 |Mar high C = 2.5 |Apr high C = 10.1 |May high C = 18.1 |Jun high C = 21.8 |Jul high C = 24.6 |Aug high C = 23 |Sep high C = 18.1 |Oct high C = 11.5 |Nov high C = 4.4 |Dec high C = -2.1 |Jan mean C = -10.2 |Feb mean C = -8.6 |Mar mean C = -2.7 |Apr mean C = 4.7 |May mean C = 11.9 |Jun mean C = 16.3 |Jul mean C = 19 |Aug mean C = 17.6 |Sep mean C = 13 |Oct mean C = 6.9 |Nov mean C = 0.6 |Dec mean C = -6.8 |Jan low C = -15.3 |Feb low C = -14.1 |Mar low C = -7.9 |Apr low C = -0.8 |May low C = 5.7 |Jun low C = 10.7 |Jul low C = 13.4 |Aug low C = 12.2 |Sep low C = 7.9 |Oct low C = 2.2 |Nov low C = -3.2 |Dec low C = -11.5 |Jan record low C = -39.4 |Feb record low C = -35 |Mar record low C = -31.7 |Apr record low C = -20.6 |May record low C = -8.3 |Jun record low C = -5 |Jul record low C = 1 |Aug record low C = -1.1 |Sep record low C = -6.5 |Oct record low C = -12.2 |Nov record low C = -24.5 |Dec record low C = -35.5 |year record low C = -39.4 |precipitation colour = green |Jan precipitation mm = 82 |Feb precipitation mm = 62 |Mar precipitation mm = 80 |Apr precipitation mm = 82 |May precipitation mm = 102 |Jun precipitation mm = 123 |Jul precipitation mm = 112 |Aug precipitation mm = 117 |Sep precipitation mm = 98 |Oct precipitation mm = 96 |Nov precipitation mm = 104 |Dec precipitation mm = 97 |source 1 = <ref name=Weatherbase.org>{{cite web |url =http://www.weatherbase.com/weather/weather.php3?s=995536&cityname=Stanstead-Quebec-Canada |title = Stanstead, Quebec |access-date = 31 January 2015}}</ref> }}
