This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it's real, but it's funny.

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.

You have to compare the rainfall graph with the snowfall graph. It all turns to snow in Winnipeg. But Winnipeg does have beautiful skies.

Aye, but the snow is nice... until it melts at least. Near-freezing rain sucks

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.
