A few questions for you, since you live in a climate I like: how much snow melt would occur if temps were around 3-5C for around 4-5 days? And how frequently does snow actually fall? It it small falls building up over time, or just one large-ish fall every now and again?
Whoops. Never noticed these questions. Well, dunno's probably updating his dream climate at some point.
3-5C highs 4-5 days in a row? Depends on the lows! If they are around or above freezing you can wipe most of it off, if below freezing (like -4C) you will keep quite a lot of snow actually, as the melting process has to start again from the beginning every morning. Especially combined with overcast skies and short days.
We get huge blizzards that dump large amounts of snow a few times a winter, otherwise it's quite light for most of the time, and builds up over a longer period. Like 3 cm of accumulation today, 4 cm after three days, then some sleet, and 2 cm the next day and so on. Can well snow like 10 days a month here.
MY dream climate is still the best:
I was wondering wether I should update it with a tad colder winters, but realised this winter that I don't need a snowpack that lasts for several months. The most important thing is that there are regular snow events and there's snow on the ground for the majority of the time in Jan-Feb! And cold enough to wipe out the majority of the palm population.
The snow is very wet in your dream climate. At -5C the snow:water ratio is typically 10:1 or so, but dryness, elevation or lake-effect snow increases the ratio.

Creating this climate took me more than couple hours to finish, inspired Tokyo's seasonal lag and Seattle's precipitation pattern, complete form looks like wetter Barcelona.
I'm a cold weather lover over the hot weather but this one goes for when I want to be stay moderately comfortable all year

Well, thanks for the belated answer. I have updated my dream climate a few times since then.
Before:
I think I was going to increase the min temps in spring and summer as well, but I must have forgot.
Nah, it'll rain, lol. This is just temperatures and snow. Just didn't feel like making up stats for things I don't care as much about.
