History

Climate
Manning has a borderline subarctic climate, very close to being a humid continental climate, with both May and September averaging only fractionally under 10 °C (50 °F). There are vast differences between the warm summers and very cold winters, although areas much further south more eastward in Canada have equally cold winters and cooler summers.
