According to the link Helsinki is worse in many other areas in November though:
- 40% more cloudy sky
- Less than 50% as much fully clear sky
- More than 100% higher daily chance of precipitation
- About 2.8 times the amount of rainfall (Edit: a lot less snow though)
- 87% as much daylight
Throughout the year Winnipeg may be worse in some aspects than this, but Helsinki is definitely worse in November on many scales.
Ah yes that is true, that was misleading. To me those beautiful skies sound like they make Winnipeg a nice place to live, even with the cold. Helsinki sounds like it just has nothing going for it.
