Sudbury makes longest Canadian winters list

According to The Weather Network, Sudbury experiences, on average, the third longest winter in the country.

It's no surprise the Nickel Belt sees its fair share of snow each year — but according to The Weather Network, Sudbury receives more than most!

"Sudbury's 330 lakes are typically covered by snow 141 days of the year," the video states.

Top 5 Longest Canadian Winters:

1. Saguenay, Quebec (average of 160 days of winter)
2. Quebec City, Quebec (average of 149 days of winter)
3. Sudbury, Ontario (average of 141 days of winter)
4. Sherbrooke, Quebec (average of 135 days of winter)
5. Winnipeg, Manitoba (average of 132 days of winter)

NorthernLife.ca is not quite sure what The Weather Network means by categorizing only these urban centres for a list of longest winters. There are certainly parts of Canada with longer winters (hello, Nunavut and the territories!) and parts of Labrador, Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta with lower populations but longer winters.

Either way, we guess it's nice to be recognized for this somewhat dubious distinction. We're No. 3! We're No. 3!
