One is extremely continental with very cold winters and the other is extremely oceanic with immense cold rain and no summer.  |

Montreal. The cloudiness and rain is more noticeable than being 3-4c colder on average

No one shovels snow in Strathgordon, nor has to plug the car in to stop shit from freezing. Aussies haven't a clue re US/Canadian continental winters, hence no fucken way do we vote for the shitty freezing winters... just sayin'...

Climate:
( The Wiki entry )
Strathgordon has a cooler oceanic climate (Cfb) with cool summers and cold winters with crisp nights year round. Rainfall is extremely heavy year round, some of the heaviest in all of Australia. Strathgordon as well as being very wet is also very cloudy for most of the year; it is the cloudiest station in Australia, with only 1,478 hours of sunshine and 16.3 clear days annually. Snow is a common occurrence in the winter and spring months, and can be heavy in amount, while sleet can occur nearer to summer.

Strathgordon for not being horrifically cold and snowy, and having nice winter rains.

Strathgordon, as crummery as it is, there is no excusing Montreal's winters.

Montréal isn't "extremely continental".
But yeah, definitely going with Montréal. Much better summers!

Montreal. Four decent months in Montreal vs. zero in Strathgordon. Winters are much colder, but that's better than endless cold rain or muddy slush.

I try to make the larger boxes concise -- means, daylight hours, humidex, dewpoints, etc, take up a lot of space and personally I tend to find them irrelevant. But it depends. |

Montreal
The winters are only a few degrees worse than what I'm used to, and they aren't horrible enough to offset Strathgordon's disgusting crummers.

Montreal. Winters are barely liveable but at least they get a lot of snow.
That Tasmanian climate is like if you took all the bad bits about Glasgow and dialled them up a load.

Montreal I guess, due to better crummers and overall more interesting, though it's still terrible. An E vs an F climate here.
