Can't something be subarctic and oceanic? In the same way, can't something be subtropical and oceanic? I know Köppen would disagree, but it seems to me oceanic/continental should only be about average temperature variation, not average annual temperature.
Cfc is subpolar oceanic. I'd rather look at oceanic as more of sliding scale of influence (for non-tropical climates) rather than an is or isn't oceanic.

That's true. I was just disputing the statement that anything colder than 5/0 C in winter shoudn't be considered Oceanic.
And to call it straight on "Subarctic" would imply some degree of continentality, which neither of those climates display.
I guess both of those climates could be considered borderline sub-polar oceanic.
It amazes me how many people get worked up about what some idiotic climate scale that fails on practically every metric to take important variations of weather into account, would classify some city that they need to check Google Earth to even find. Are there that many failed meteorologists out there with nothing better to do?
I mean really, humid subtropical?
