One of them being in Atlantic Canada resulting in less severe winters than in most of Canada thanks to the somewhat moderating water off Nova Scotia, but with high snowfall, and the other being the coldest major city in the United States during winter. Be aware that Minneapolis would lose 1/10 of its sunshine using Canadian methods of measurement. Minneapolis is way more continental and it suits me less. Kentville falls within my ideal summer range and wins merely because of that for me, whereas Minneapolis winters are obscene and almost as bad as coastal 64°N in Sweden...   |

Minneapolis by far. Warmer, dryer and sunnier.

Minneapolis, easily. This is a no-brainer.

Kentville, easily. Much nicer summers, much greater precipitation and snowfall, and more pleasant yet snowier winters. Canada will always have better climates than the US.

Minneapolis, for the higher sunshine (accounting for the US method), quicker spring warmup, warmer summers, less snow etc. Both winters are cold anyway so a few degrees colder in MN for a couple months isn't gonna make a difference for me, cold outbreaks or not.

This. I'll go with Minneapolis too. |

I prefer Kentsville's temperatures except the spring is nicer in Minneapolis, and Minneapolis is almost 50% sunnier. I wonder which is windier in winter. I'm starting to think wind plays way too much a roll in winter. Regardless I'll go with Minneapolis for drier and sunnier weather.

Minneapolis. It's warmer and more sunny in the summer months and summers are a bit longer. The winters are colder, yes, but not that long. The spring seems to arrive earlier. Kentvilles spring is similar to Scandinavia.

No contest for me. Kentville for the higher precipitation, lower sunshine, and cooler summers. Atlantic Canada basically matches my ideal climate in terms of temperatures, precipitation, and sunshine.

Yeah, Minneapolis for me. Winters are the same cold shit, but MN's summers easily win.
