Sure. Bear in mind I have custom instructions active - which, if you want to make full and proper use of ChatGPT, you should configure, along with customised GPTs - so I get lots of dot-point descriptions, because that's what I've asked for.
Also I would not normally write ChatGPT queries the same as I write them for search engines but for the sake of comparison, I'll use their queries verbatim except where my custom instructions affect the context too much.
I got - good results.
They got - "Very bad results (fails to return any kind of useful result)
ChatGPT: basically refuses to answer the question, although you can probably prompt engineer your way to an answer if you don't just naively ask the question you want answered".
Honestly, I have no idea if this is a good answer or not. But I don't use ChatGPT for answers that I don't have confidence that I can determine its veracity; if I needed to know this with certainty, I'd use ChatGPT as a jumping off point for my own research.

I don't know if almanac.com is any good but giving it the specific "Environment Canada winter 2023" query gave the expected very good result.
I think ChatGPT 4 generally provided very good results for the test queries, if you tailor the queries just slightly for the format
