Are there any other climates like Churchill, MB, with maritime-like summers and continental-like winters? (warmest, records)

[Nichle]

The Hudson Bay produces some interesting climates, like Churchill and Inukjuak. The maritime influence of the bay means summers are cold for their latitude (Inukjuak's average July high is just 13C at 58N, in contrast Whitehorse averages a 21C July high at 60N). But in winter, the bay freezes, giving winters that are similarly cold to Whitehorse.

Are there any other notable examples of water having this effect outside the Hudson Bay area? Presumably large lakes that freeze in the winter would have similar effects. An island in the middle of such a lake would presumably see the greatest effect.

Hmmmmm, that's a good question. Seems East Russia along the coast can have this, though with less severe winters than Churchill. Here's Magadan:

Vladivostok is like a warmer version of Churchill

Its summers are maritime and stunningly chilly for the latitude. For comparison, the warmest month in Milwaukee is around 26c, in Sukhumi is 25c, and in Bishkek 32c

What about that record heat, do this make any sense ?

Nome, Alaska and Ilulissat might be what you're searching for. Even Magadan. In Antarctica there's McMurdo Station, though I'm not sure if that's what you're searching for.

The record high for Churchill in April is impressive. 33.3C/60F above the monthly average high, and 10C/18F above their July average high.

In terms of average temperatures, the closest match to Churchill, MB is Salekhard in Northern Russia. Check out my map for more details:

Continental in winters, oceanic in summers, what a paradise like place for cold weather fans...
However, the heat records look quite nice, especially in April.

Something like this is the climate of Ohkotsk, on the coast of Okhotsk sea, not that far from Magadan:
