This is the place where i am living, since i am 2 years old.
We have coolish winters with some snow every year, but heavier falls with more than 15 cm/ 6 inch are actually rare, occuring about every 2 to 3 years.
Most winters our maximum snow cover is about 5-10 cm (2 to 4 inches).
The highest snowcover which has been recorded here was 37 cm (15 inch) in January 1979.
Summer is quite mild and rarely hot, with Temperatures over 30°C occuring about two or three times year, but also thunderstorms are not very common then with about 3 to 4 days in each summer month.
Personally i would rate this climate C, its great in spring, summer (though some more thunderstorms would be nice) and autumn. Only our winters are not that great, it could be some degrees colder for me and with more snowfalls too.
I give it a C-. It would be a slight upgrade from the climate here, in just about every respect. At least you have an expectation of having some lying snow in the winter, which is more than can be said for my location.
I voted E. If I didnt voted F, it's because it's not as abysmal as the Orkneys, Shetlands, the Falklands, the Faeroer islands, northern Norway, Greenland, etc. Those truly deserve an F. Still a sad climate.
Nice summers. A little too cloudy, though. And my ideal winters would be somewhat colder. But for the comfortable temperatures, I can't give it less than a B-.
I like its mild heatless summers, though they could be a little warmer, but it's too cloudy and too warm in winter. B-.
