Inspired by Villa Frigida and other 'Winter Wonderland' climates on here, I decided to create my own wintery paradise, which I dubbed Arctictown.
Although it's supposed to be a winter paradise, I gave it a summer, but it is a wimpy one, averaging 8.1c for the warmest month, so snow is possible even in the 'summer'.
And the frozen season lasts for 5 months. Although during that time snow never melts, the temps aren't as brutal as most Arctic locations, with -10.65c for the coldest month, instead of -20c or below. Sometimes even colder air blows south and makes everything literally frozen at -30c, but these events usually don't last for more than 10 days.
Annual snowfall is of course very high, at 139 inches, falling mostly in the cool season.
So how would you rate this climate? I would give it an B+, I prefer a more continental climate if it is cold, but this isn't bad, and the arctic sun hrs rock!
E-. Decent winters, though I need a chance for thaws. Terrible summers.
