where's it to?

My friend Heather and her man, Albert are down visiting from Bonnyville, Alberta (Albert from Alberta, I know...)  They work on the oil pipelines up there were it is -40.  They were loving the warm temperatures up here.  "Wow! Its in the plus down here!".  Their friend called them this morning to tell them that it's warming up... its only -32 today.  
Albert is originally from Newfoundland so understanding what he's saying is pretty hard, especially for me - the sort-of hard of hearing.  Instead of "where is it?" he says "Where's it to?".  Heather was telling me about a Newfie who was trying to ask where an address was.  "Where's 14322 too?".  Needless to say both sides were extremely confused.
