B- nice summers and I'm eager to experience snow!!! Potential frosts in summer are weird though.

Find Alphatown - that's my fictional climate, a subtropical highland

Looks very similar to Minneapolis and other areas in upper Mid West. I'll give it a good rating because of all that variety.

I thought that only applied to tropical climates, yours seemed subtropical.

It just means a defined summer precipitation max I believe. Does it have to be tropical?

When I here monsoon I think of South and Southeast Asia, usually that's where I hear most referring to monsoon's, but I guess it could be used elsewhere

That's probably the most extreme one.

Wikipedia says:

Quote:
Monsoon is traditionally defined as a seasonal reversing wind accompanied by corresponding changes in precipitation,[1] but is now used to describe seasonal changes in atmospheric circulation and precipitation associated with the asymmetric heating of land and sea.[2][3] Usually, the term monsoon is used to refer to the rainy phase of a seasonally changing pattern, although technically there is also a dry phase.
