Rate the Climate: Happy Valley-Goosebay (hot, temperature, cities, freezing)

F... horrific climate. I imagine most of the people who live in Labrador are native people and people who work for the armed forces (Canadian Air Force has a big base in Happy (Suicide) Valley-Goose Bay).

Big Canadian air force base, eh?

Midwinter is chillier than I would like, but it's not too bad. B.

I'd like non-polar climates to rate. The results are getting a bit repetitive and the climate all seem about the same.

Technically Goose Bay isn't a polar climate but I know what you mean... need more variety of climates to rate.

73% voted 'F' (including myself). These bitterly cold subarctic climates are invariably the lowest rated climates here. The frostbite lovers can comfort themselves with the knowledge that they are part of a very elite group.

Bitter cold winters, short shoulder seasons, and short mild summers. Surprisingly cloudy and wet.

I give it an A. Winters are a little colder than I like, but I could deal with it. Everything else about it is great.

I can already see the F's coming.

I'd give it a B. The only thing I wouldn't like about it is the lack of sunshine. Otherwise, bring on the cold temps and heavy snow!

I'd have a bit more respect if they moved there and then said they enjoyed the climate.

Weather can't be the only factor considered when moving to another location. Financial and family obligations come first, at least for me personally.
