Now, you started it and tell me this, Winnipeg is on a latitude 49.88N and the real London, as opposed to a colonial variant, is 51.5N.

So London ENGLAND is some 111 miles north of Winnipeg and it almost never snows here or even drops below freezing.

Why's that then?
Considering you bloody empireists once owned the known world, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out. You're surrounded by bloody water, which keeps you warm, albeit wet. Winnipeg - aka Winterpeg - is in the middle of the bloody continent. It gets damned cold from the prevailing winds coming directly out of the arctic.

Very strange people, those Manitobans, to put up with that bit.
