The United States Environmental Protection Agency divides the US, Canada, and Mexico into 182 level III ecoregions.

Climate plays a large role in determining the flora and fauna of a region, so I thought it would be interesting to see what the climate in each of these ecoregions looks like.
Starting in the numerical order in which they are designated by the EPA:
1.1.1 - Ellesmere and Devon Islands Ice Caps
No stations with climate data in this region, not included in poll.
1.1.2 - Baffin and Torngat Mountains
Climate data from Clyde River
2.1.1 - Sverdrup Islands Lowland
Climate data from Mould Bay
2.1.2 - Ellesmere Mountains and Eureka Hills
Climate data from Eureka
2.1.3 - Parry Islands Plateau
Climate data from Resolute
