Surfing about last night I came across a fairly indepth website.
Sure I had seen the USGS website which has some cool stuff on it, although all about the US. However last night I came across what amounts to our equivalent agency, Natural Resources Canada: Earth Sciences Sector. Maybe not as catchy as USGS, but still has a lot of stuff. The link is http://ess.nrcan.gc.ca/index_e.php.
So a quick overview finds Maps, images, data, a geoscience data repository, links to other sources of information on geology.
The geoscience section has a tonne of information on geophysical surveys in Canada. Most of it seems to be just basic logging information, however some of the stuff, ie the Seismic and magnetotelluric data (Lithoprobe) section,http://gdr.nrcan.gc.ca/seismtlitho/index_e.php, has a fair bit of interesting stuff. They have a website dedicated to the project as well, http://www.lithoprobe.ca/.
Also I found something called the Frontier Geoscience Project, which is described as "From 1984 to 1990, over 6800 kilometres of deep (> 15 s) multichannel reflection seismic data were collected offshore Eastern Canada". You can download a lot of the segy data as well as read the processing reports for them, ie line 84-1 is located here, http://gdr.nrcan.gc.ca/fgp/grand_e.php#841. Most of the sections aren't hugely exciting, but the processing sequence is of interest to see how they got from acquisition to section.
The USGS has a similar site for segy and images of the sections located here, http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of02-368/data98.html. Some good ones there. Much larger and much higher resolution.

Not sure when your snow will melt, but since you're in Canada, I'm thinking not before June.
