C. Better than anything the UK has to offer but Spring and Autumn are too cold. Sunshine is not too bad between April and August but too low over the winter months.
Winter temperatures are proper... Record lows are not impressive at that latitude. I know you are near water but so am I
How much snow do you get in a season?
As for the rest of the year far too cold for the seasons by what I am accustomed too, and not nearly enough sunshine. If I get a colder snowy winter, which I would enjoy for three months and not much longer, I need to be compensated at least with a warm summer, which is what Chicago summers are. And no our summers are not usually hot. They are just "warm" by US standards. Which is why I would call Turku or other Northern European summers very cool. I'm used to a different standard in seasons.
Not that much, maybe a meter / less than 40in a season. Average max snow depth is around 11-12in. But temps are sufficently low not to melt it away in Jan-Mar.
This climate is pretty good. The best, actually. I am right.
No, it is not. We've been looking at 10C cloudiness since 23 September.
BTW, you mentioned earlier in this thread that the 98-12 averages aren't as good as the real 81-10 averages? Why? The winters are starting to get too weak?
Yeah. January has gotten too 'warm'. Still nice, and capable of retaining a snow pack, but the trend is not good. Everything else is okay though.
And your weather is boring right now, but that's a price worth paying for reliable winters - even if a snow pack doesn't form until January, it's better than here by a million miles.
