This one is for cold lovers... Which one?

Winnipeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Novosibirsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Both are F- climates for me... and I think I'll pick Novosibirsk for the extra sunshine.

Novosibirsk for more snow, slightly higher average minimum in July, and less extreme record highs.

Not much between them at all... coin toss for me, would probably come down to which is sunnier and less windy.

I will pick the city I live in. Novosibirsk has around the same sunshine as winnipeg, don't know where that figure on wiki came from as it isn't even cited.

Another factor in my vote is that Winnipeg some warm above 0 January days while Novosibirsk is more prone to cold spells. Go on wunderground and compare the January monthly for the two locations.

Novosibirsk also doesn't get as high temps in the Summer, while sunshine hours is relatively the same.

UV index is also important to me along with solar angle and both are higher in Winnipeg.

Also Novosibirsk is drier than winnipeg in summer.

Compare the record high and lows for the two, Winnipeg will have warmer ones.

Suprised you went with Novosibirsk deneb.

2880 hours of annual sunshine for Novosibirsk? That seems too good to be true. Other cities in the region average between around 2000-2300 hours. Omsk for example has 2200 hours per year.
Omsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Both are way too cold on average for me, most sources seem to suggest Novosibirsk has around 2100 hours of sunshine versus 2400 hours so that and the slightly warmer average annual temperature in Winnipeg make it a little better imo.

If the sunshine hours on wiki for Novosibirsk are wrong, then I change my vote to Winnipeg for many of the reasons listed by JetsNHL

Very tough choice... I'll have to go with Novosibirsk for lower record highs in winter and summer

Both climates are pretty brutal. Not much difference between them. Novosibirsk is slightly less continental so I might go with that.
