If temperature was the only factor, I'd give it a B+. A couple of summer months that are still a little too warm but certainly not bad. But wow, what a dry place. Due to that, I gave it a D.
Keep in mind that enough though the precipitation is low, there is more snowfall than what you would expect. This is due to the Siberian high converting the mass majority of winter precipitation to snowfall. This is why many cities in northeast china and east Russia are frequently seen as snow covered even though they are pretty dry in winter.
This is also the reason why northern Japan is one of the snowiest places on earth.
