Sub-freezing temperatures during winter is way, way better than just above freezing. Snow helps so much in making winter passable. You can do winter sports and the snow reflects the light making it on average a lot lighter than if everything just melts away. Plus the snow is really pretty.
I’m sure Winnipeg has a few degrees of margin before being condemned to the type of misery we have to cope with in winter over here, though.

Humidity does have a huge effect on chilly temperatures. Winnipeg is somewhat humid for where it sits in the continent, but nothing like Helsinki.
I just saw the tourism score comparison on Weatherspark and it gives absolute proof that Winnipeg is a better place to go in mid-November. 😂
