Weather: Winnipeg has the distinction of being the coldest city in the world of its size (there s no bigger city in the world with avg temp lower than wpg). Winters are absolutely frigid, with temps in the -20's and -30's Celsius for months. After the long cold winter, you get mosquito season. The summers are short (and nice temps), but the Mosquitos are such a nightmare.
Size: about 750k... Not tiny, but not large either. Not a whole lot going on.
The downtown is a dump, and is overrun by homeless drunks and thugs. Not much going on down there after 5 either, since all the office workers head to their homes in the suburbs after work.
Wpg does have a certain charm to it, but it is not a place I would ever suggest moving to voluntarily.
I lived I wpg from age 9 to 30 and left a few years ago, so I know what I'm talking about
