I think it's better to keep patiently reiterating this point, least some start to think that there is actually such a thing as oceanic vegetation.
You have the patience of a saint.

Both have 4 seasons but I would say Inukjiak is more of a classic 4 season climate. Summer's are similar and it has a much colder winter. I don't understand why people think seasons are defined by being with in a certain temperature range. Winter doesn't have to be below X degrees, it just has to have shorter days and cooler weather than the rest of the year for 2-4 months. Summer is the opposite. It just needs a plateau of temperatures higher than the rest of the year and longer days. Spring and fall are transitional. Every place except some places near the equator have 4 seasons and even those usually have precipitation seasons.

The OP referred to a 'classic 4 season climate like you see in cartoons?'. So while your definition of a 4 season climate holds validity it definitely doesn't fit in with the idea of a 'classic 4 season climate like you see in cartoons?' Although Inukjiak has a much wider range of temps it in no way resembles a classic 4 season cartoon climate unless the only one you watch is Pingu! On the other hand, Wick, although far from classic 4 seasons would see some warm days and freezing nights so in reference to the OPs question would win out? agree or na?

Summer's are about the same. Wick averages a bit warmer but inukjiak has higher record highs and is sunnier and drier so it would feel more summery than the consistently cool, rainy, cloudy wick. Also, it's winters are much more pronounced so I would say inukjiak is the winner.
