There have been several posts noting the cold winter weather in Winnipeg, yet objectively the Winnipeg climate is getting warmer in the winter. The NASA data set in tabular form can be downloaded at
http://data.giss.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/gistemp/gistemp_station.py?id=403718520007&data_set=1&num_neighbors=1
The data set runs from 1881 to 2001. Linear regression on the data gives
Winter DJF 0.0246 C/yr
Spring MAM 0.0167 C/yr
Summer JJA 0.0059 C/yr
Fall SON 0.0058 C/yr
Note: the NASA data set represents missing data with 999. One missing point was removed prior to linear regression analysis..
Why has the winter warmed and why has the winter warmed more than the other seasons?
 
Wow, thats a lot of stats. Maybe just be thankful it's not 48 below zero like it normally is this time of year.
