southern Ontario, there are areas where the elevation affects weather
greatly.

Very true. The mean monthly temperature for January in the UK ranges
between about 4C (39F) and 6C (43F) for low-level stations, depending on
which part of the country you are in. That means that it's very common
for a few hundred feet in elevation to make all the difference between
rain and snow. Elevation also has a big effect on precipitation amounts.
