🌿 Winnipeg's longer growing season
Did you know the growing season in urban Winnipeg is over one month longer (on average) than surrounding rural areas? It is also by far the longest in Manitoba!
The longer growing season in the city was evident last night, with a low of only +4.8 C at The Forks vs +1.5 C at the Airport. Surrounding towns in more rural areas, like Woodlands and Dugald, dropped near 0 C.
The average growing season length at the Winnipeg Airport is 122 days. However, the average growing season is 157 days at The Forks.
Average last spring frost:
The Forks: May 6
Airport: May 23
Average first fall frost:
The Forks: October 10
Airport: September 22
The urban heat island of Winnipeg gives it by far the longest growing season in Manitoba. The closer you are to the core of the city, the longer the growing season. On the map below you can see how the growing season length varies throughout southern Manitoba.

Good news if you're still up at this hour and are over the age of 35. You can still watch Pages From Ceefax like the good ol' nights - youtube.com/watch?v=vYZs3Q0-…

What year would you guess the first colour photograph was printed in a North American newspaper?
The Manitoba Museum has 103 cameras in its collection, but one donated this year has a fascinating history! Learn more in this video with Dr. Roland Sawatzky: ow.ly/t0f750PFaWz

Winnipeg has a beautiful train station that serves two trains per week and another that serves none. Montreal’s central train station serves 250,000 people per week and it is possibly the ugliest big city train station in the world.
