Based on the past 10 years I'd go with Winnipeg.
It'd be harder if Longyearbyen was still capable of maintaining those 61-90 averages though. I guess it'd have an edge over Winnipeg in that case.

Longyearbyen is colder and has far more snowy days.

Longyearbyen
What sorta question is this??
It's a year-round winter FFS. Also, much colder and snowier than Winnipeg by a hundred-fold.

For hardcore winter lovers, definitely Longyearbyen. Most people in here who like cold weather generally desire at least a semblance of summer weather though.

If you really love winter (although I suspect most people don't when push comes to show) you would pick Longyearbyen any day. Winnipeg has more extreme cold potential in January, but the winter is quite short and the summers are long and pleasant.
Longyearbyen has 10 months of sub zero temperatures and a couple of months of spring-like weather (spring by Norwegian standards mind you). I would like to visit Longyearbyen some day, but I would never live there permanently. The climate is too inhumane.

The winter months in Longyearbyen are obviously more enjoyable for a winter lover as they are colder and snowier. However, I think one aspect of loving winter is also the contrast to summer which intensifies the experience of winter and in this way Winnipeg is clearly superior. Also, after a certain degree of cold it doesn't matter much if the averages are even colder. What matters more is the capability of extreme cold snaps and for this Winnipeg is slightly better than Longyearbyen (and I guess much better in recent years).

Longyearbyen for the length of its winters.

I think it depends on if you mean the hypothetical winter lover who wishes to maximize the amount of winter they experience or the average winter lover in the real world. Most winter lovers on this site and elsewhere still seem to prefer a decently warm summer.

Longyearbyen for a winter lover, easily. Winter lasts most of the year or all year depending on what you call winter.
If this was a climate battle, Winnipeg would get at least 90% of the vote.

Longyearbyen if we are looking at the whole year. If we are just looking at winter, then Winnipeg as it actually has daylight.
