New York Weather vs. Montreal Weather

The Weather Channel website has a neat feature that lets you generate graphs comparing average temperatures for different locations. After careful consideration of the data, I have concluded that Montreal is colder than New York. I plan to submit my findings to The Lancet. In case you can't wait for the full academic paper, here are some of the salient data points, with all temperatures expressed in degrees Fahrenheit:

1) The average high temperature in Montreal in November is 41 degrees -- which is below the average high temperature in New York in November (54) and December (44).

2) The lowest monthly average high temperature in New York is 39 degrees, in January. In Montreal, four months have an average high temperature below that mark: December (26), January (21), February (24) and March (35).

3) Montreal has five months with average high temperatures below 45 degrees -- November (41), December (26), January (21), February (24) and March (35). In New York, there are just three: December (44), January (39) and February (42).

4) Montreal has three months with average high temperatures below 30 degrees -- December (26), January (21) and February (24). New York has none.

5) The lowest monthly average low temperature in New York is 26 degrees, in January. In Montreal, four months have an average low temperature below that mark: December (12), January (5), February (7) and March (19).

6) New York has two months with an average low temperature below 32 degrees -- January (26) and February (29). Montreal has five -- November (28), December (12), January (5), February (7) and March (19).

In conclusion: Montreal is way colder than New York.
