A friend of mine lived in Wyoming before moving to Europe. He married someone from a small town in northwest Russia. Both places have cold climates-which one do you like better? The Russian town doesn't have a weatherbox, so I used Petrozavodsk.  Laramie: Unpredictable high plains US climate, usually dry and sunny. Sun hours should be about 3000 based on nearby Cheyenne. Winter days are much longer and sunnier than the Russian climate. Annual temperature is 40.9F/4.9C Cold nights all year, snowy springs, and a short growing season. Snow cover is low due to the mild days and dry weather. It's also windy, average wind speed is 8mph in summer and 16mph in winter (13-26km/h) Petrozavodsk, Republic of Karelia, Russia. 61'47N 34'20E Petrozavodsk: More consistent, cloudier, wetter. Summers are short and cool, but with warmer nights. Winters are colder but more snowy. 61N is enough to get very short winter days and and it gets 24 hours of civil twilight from June 2 to July 11. Average temperature is 37.6F/3.1C. It is not windy, average is 5-7mph (8-11km/h) I prefer the Russian climate, just barely. Winters are more consistently snowy and cold, even though they don't get much sun. Summer is weaker but Laramie is too dry overall. As for living in one of these cities, I'd pick Laramie for sure. |

Laramie, fucken! Easily!Much better crummers, better (albeit drier) winters, quicker warm-up and lies at a much better, lower latitude (I fucken hate polar twilight  ). Laramie also looks to be much squallier and more unstable with its high elevation, too, which farther accentuates its landslide victory. Asian shithole climates will never compare to the US

Laramie also looks to be much squallier and more unstable with its high elevation, too, which farther accentuates its landslide victory. Asian shithole climates will never compare to the US Petrozavodsk is in European Russia thanks to being west of the Ural mountains, the north-south barrier between European and Asian Russia. I used to think that was just a defacto boundary but those mountains actually block airmasses (for example, today west of the Urals was considerably cooler than east of the Urals)... Anyway, I vote for Petrozavodsk despite the pitiful sunshine hours in winter. It's much wetter overall, much snowier, and they can still get occasional summer heatwaves without having droughts. Plus, the women in Petrozavodsk are much more hospitable than those in Laramie. Petrozavodsk is like an improved version of Anchorage...more thunderstorms for sure too than Anchorage.  Laramie's record highs in summer are curiously not too far from the averages. Strange... |

Laramie easily. Warmer springs, warmer summers, much drier, sunnier, etc.
It’s a C+ vs. a D-.

Why? Is it the vodka? I'm not sure why it's like that, but Denver is the same way. Average high of 89F/32C in July, all time high is 105F/41C. I think the all-time high is limited due to the elevation and it must not get many cold days in summer. |

Laramie by a slight margin. Petrozadovsk has awesome winters but I like the unstable nature of Laramie more, plus, summers are a good deal better in Laramie.

Laramie for me, I don't like the cold nights, but the daytime highs are significantly warmer than Petrozavodsk's, particularly in the summer. Also Laramie is much sunnier.

Laramie is the slightly lesser of the two evils. Marginally warmer summers by daily mean (even though diurnals are cancerously large) plus considerably more sunshine. F+ vs a solid F climate here.

This battle is like choosing if I would rather eat dog poo or cat poo for dinner, but between these two horrific climates I'll go with Laramie.

Laramie easily, would require less vitamin D pills and also is warmer on average
