Mars can get pretty cold, but Halifax you are right depending on the season, temperatures on Mars are warmer than wherever you are. The average temperature on Mars is about 218 K (-55 C, -67 F), Martian surface temperatures range widely from as little as 140 K (-133 C, -207 F) at the winter pole to almost 300 K (27 C, 80 F) on the day side during summer, very toasty indeed.
