The last discussion of cold climates proposed by me. In the sequence I will do tropical climates.

They're both great, I would choose Arctic Bay for having better (meaning colder) averages though.


Unfortunately the snow data for Dikson is missing, but if that one happens to get more than 130" of snowfall, it'd be enough to make up for its warmer averages and I'd choose it instead.

Dikson receives an effect of the sea, although the Arctic is very icy (the ideal would be closer to zero) and the effect is possibly reduced. Artic Bay is much drier. The snowy days at Dikson are much larger, perhaps offsetting even if the quantity at Artic Bay is larger and concentrated on fewer days.

Technically Dikson, but I'd rather be very poor in Madeira than live in a mansion in either of these.

Unfortunately missing sun data for Artic Bay and snow for Dikson.
For sunny hours in Canada this helps a bit: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...f/Sunshine.png. Probably not much morethan 2000 hours and certainly more sunny than the Russian city.

Here is the snow cover for Dikson (although not the precipitation):

Lol, Arctic Bay is going to be very similar to Dikson in sunshine hours... it's also on the low-pressure central known as the Arctic Ocean. Remember, that even the North Pole is quite mild in winter when offshore there and far from landmasses. Verkhoyansk is way colder.

Dikson has warmer summers, a much warmer record high and warmer winters. Arctic Bay might have a few more sun hours but it will be cloudy most of the time. Dikson wins.

Neither. They are both unlivable IMO.
