It seems chicagogeorge's problem is he compares every climate to Chicago as if that is everyones climate ideal. Anything that is not like Chicago he puts down. He never gives examples or talks about any other climate except Chicago. No wonder people think he is arrogant.

I compare everything to Chicago because I live here and this is the climate that I am accustomed to. I've traveled to many other cities and countries so I do have an understanding and experience in different climates....
However, I certainly do not think we have the ideal climate.

Now South Dakota or Nebraska might be ideal in my view.... Maybe some locations in Southern Russia or Central Asia.
If they struggly to stay open how come the avg high in ben nevis is -2c in january and it is below freezing for over 5 months?
And we do get snow regularly. It comes every single year.
There isn't a ski resort at the summit of Ben Nevis. Believe me, I know about this stuff. Every year, with the exception of those two unusually cold winters 2009-2011, there's are reports on the Scottish local news about how the ski resorts cannot stay open. In 2007, Scotland's oldest ski resort had to go into liquidation due to lack of snow:
Snow coming once or twice a year isn't regular snowfall. It isn't a real winter unless snow coverage is somewhat reliable. This coming winter, we may get 5 days of snow coverage, or we may get none at all. Admittedly, Glasgow is in a bit of a snow shadow, so we often end up worse off than much of the rest of the nation, but I do tend to keep abreast of what's going on in the rest of the UK.
Averages don't paint a true picture in america as tutempio shows.
If you are trying to say that it is colder than 8c there all the time you are wrong because I just showed data with some years being 9c.
He's not. The average gives little information on that. Averages tell us averages, not whether it never reaches much hotter or colder, most here understand that, and about all Americans do.

Portsmouth has a mean max of 10.0°C in December. Also, in the Northeast US, December is typically much warmer than February or January.
To be fair, 2007 was very mild.. one of the mildest ever. Although you do have a point - Cairn Gorm summit has cold winters with reliable snow, but then people don't ski on the summit of Cairn Gorm.

I've already told you averages paint a real picture to me
If its 9c in the day and -2c at night it ain't cold. End of dicsussion.
It's not cold to you. It's far too cold to me. But either way, 9°C isn't the temperature for a larger portion of the day; the low matters. For frosts, obviously.
