Winnipeg - Post Report Question and Answers
What is the overall climate: is it extremely hot or cold, wet or dry, at any time of year, for example?
Each season with typical characteristics. Winter is LONG (snow can start in October and continue through April) and COLD. -20 Celsius is standard, but easily dips down to -30, or extremes of -40+ with the windchill. However, Winnipegers make the most of this and offer many winter festivals and outdoor activities. Snow clean up is fast and efficient. The city rarely closes down due to snow. Winter tires are a must. - Apr 2016
Oh, well. Our first winter here was not so bad, as we only had -40C weather for about a week. But last winter was pretty brutal. We probably had a month or so where the temperature never went above -27 C. And the winter could last for a very long time. We still had snow in April. - Aug 2013
