Rate the climate - Ben Nevis (snow, city, sunshine, cloudy)

F... too cold.

Here's one for the strange people who enjoy wet and cold year round!

Ben Nevis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'd guess annual sunshine is around 1000 hours.

An automatic F- from me.

F-, atrocious

F, disgusting

Any way to get snowfall stats on this location? I'd like the annual snowfall total, as well as the average snowpack depth and how often winter rainfall "ruins" the snowpack. This will make a difference whether I give this clime a "B" or "C" grade. Summers are a bit too cold for me to give it an "A" grade..lol.

C

Cold, wet, snowy, cloudy, and windy. Sounds perfect. Would prefer warmer summers though.

The Met Office don't have averages of snow depth, but there is snow cover for 6-7 months per year on the summit.

Sounds good enough for me - I give this a straight-up "B" grade.
