The smoke was bad here and it made it more humid because it blocked the air from leaving.

Now that we are in 2018, I’d like to see the average freezing rain because I’ve seen at least two ice/freezing storms since Christmas.

I’d give it a B- because summer was too dry and the forest fires were bad

You guys got hammered in February. I recall hearing reports of 80cm in three days out in Chilliwack..

I'm going to say a B-. The chilly temperatures and snow in winter bring the grade down. For the rainfall pattern I'm fine with this.

Both C- for me - not great climates, but wet enough and cold enough during winter to ensure fantastic skiing close by, and a summer that is reliably warm and sunny.
