maybe Fraser is even cooler than the data that was collected suggests...
i've never seen rounding like that in any climate description i've come across. i've seen a lot of "borderline" being used marrying two climate types, but never rounding and claiming a place as purely the next climate type that it doesn't even technically meet the qualifications for.
so I guess Edgartown, Massachusetts is now subtropical, with a 31.8°F mean for the coldest month.
****ing Massachusetts...
and using the -3°C isotherm coastal New Hampshire can get in on some of that subtropical action with -3.5°C
but wait rounding doesn't apply for that negative value, right? why not? its just as far away from the threshold as Fraser?
Edgartown is barely an Oceanic (Cfb) climate. And Hampton NH has a -4°C average temp in the coldest month which is a solid Humid Continental (Dfa) climate.

yea i removed it shortly after adding it because it turned out to be a stretch, still possible with Isles of Shoals, including Maine... but i'm thinking it may pass for coldest month but with more ocean moderation the warmest month might become too cool...
I'm not getting your point with the negative numbers. You round them just as you do with positive numbers:
-0.3 rounds to 0
-6.5 rounds to -6
-43.6 rounds to -44
etc
Then, whatever type of climate you end up with is the answer. What's the problem
because you have a temperature of -0.5°C for a 0°C threshold and a temperature of 17.5°C for a 18°C threshold:
(after looking up how to round negative numbers because i never did it before)
you are wrong, -0.5°C rounds to -1°C and 17.5°C rounds to 18°C. what makes 17.5°C so special that it gets to round to the threshold while -0.5°C doesn't? they are both equally far away from their corresponding thresholds...

He did round -6.5 to -6.... However, I don't agree with rounding any decimal up or down.

i'm now reading different articles about it and it seems there are different rules that different people follow.
f this i ain't rounding anything... rounding is for lazy people

lol i swear i actually looked it up before responding and thought 1 foot was 7 inches. time for bed.
yea 2 feet isn't as bad... still very cold, a joke of a subtropical climate. with only 2 months of the year that even meet the threshold for the coolest month of a tropical climate. really contrived...
