About 1,000 feet above Mount Despair is an even wetter, cloudier location, but temperatures here straddle freezing all 12 months out of the year. The average highs are all 33 - 35, and lows are 29 - 31. There are 440 inches of precipitation; 230 inches of rain and 1,303 inches of snow. 1,303 inches of snow sounds like a ski resort, right? Wrong.
The snow that falls is often slushy and melts when it rains. Small mudflows happen daily as precipitation mixes with the thick mud that lines the mountain and breaks free. Almost every day sees a wide variety of precipitation: rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, hail. On average, there are only two days a year without precipitation. Driving here is a nightmare - at best. There is only 17 hours of sunshine per year. There is absolutely no life - plants do not grow, and animals never trudge this far up the thick mud.
It was called "Double Hell Despair Hill" after the person that would find it the most hellish: Dhdh.
While the mud detracts from it, this isn't a bad climate; it's a lot better than Dhdh's Mount Despair. The rain mixing in during winter and the lack of seasonal change are also minuses. On the plus side the winters do have decently chilly temperatures, there isn't a hot summer , and the amount of snow is awesome. I don't care if it is slushy or not - 1300 inches of snow is amazing and would make for at least a decent climate regardless of other conditions. I imagine it piles up a lot despite the rain and warmth due to just the huge quantity of snow; huge piles of slush that are refilled as often as they melt would be interesting to say the least, though vastly inferior to my preferred deep powder.

I give this one a B.
While there are spells where the ground is brown, there have been spells of snow piling up to 30 inches before. What I like about it is that you never know what you'll get in precipitation (:
I am honored to see your carefully crafted hellhole named after me
However, oddly enough and as pointed by Patricius Maximus, I find it less horrible than Mount Despair due to the presence of snowfall which I find much more enjoyable to watch and experience than cold rain (which is my personal nightmare ) - the 17 annual sunshine hours are absolutely horrific even to mention though.
Needless to say, I give this climate a Z and once again let me congratulate you on the creativity you shown in making up this hellhole
I give it an F. Not a G or a Z or anything worse because the snowfall and lack of heat.
