I chose "decrease winter temperatures by 6C" and so I decreased the temperatures of Dec, Jan and Feb by 6C, but also decreased the temperatures of March and November by 4C and the temperatures of April and October by 2C to get better transitions. So, May to September stayed the same.

This change would upgrade my climate from a C- to a good B. there would be great snow-storm every now and then.

Your new climate is almost a replica of Riga, Latvia. I guess you'd better pack your bags

Increasing winter temperatures. But 11 degrees F is not enough, I want more like 40 degrees.

The extra rain is also tempting (due to the dew point raising) but it really needs to be warmer in winter.

I should make several changes, but if I had to choose only one I would decrease summer temps by 6°C. Mediterranean summers are becoming increasingly hotter and longer (not that they were in any respect mild some decades ago, but at least after Mid-August one could begin to sigh with relief - in Rome, at least). This procedure would provide to Rome a climate, temperature-wise, similar to the oceanic climate found in Oviedo, Dunedin or Concepciòn in Chile.

Here in eastern PA I would like more snow in winter, lower dew points and lower temperatures in summer. Basically I want northern New England or Mountain West type weather. It's a fantasy.

On the poll I had to choose increase sunshine hours or decrease rain (should've been a multiple one).

If there was increase winter temps by 3C and decrease summer temps by 3C I would've chosen them as our winters can be slightly cool and summers hot.

I would decrease winter temperatures by 6°C, that would lead to an average high of -3°C and a low of -7°C in January and snow would be the most common type of precipitation in winter.
Everything else is okay to me.
