Kaul's stats are from Gambell, AK. Aasiaat and Sisimut in Greenland and Uelen in russia have similar temperatures.

Siberian High, here's some climates that are close, but don't meet every criteria:

Holden, WA (HOLDEN, WASHINGTON - Climate Summary), summer temperaures and rain is good, but winter nights are too warm and cloudy. Gets 350 inches of snow. In Cascade mountain range. Very isolated though.

Stanley, ID (Stanley, Idaho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Summer nights are only in 30s, otherwise temperatures meet your criteria. Only 70 inches of snow though. Not sure if winter is sunny. In the sawtooth range of the rocky mountains. Population less than 100.

Banff, Alberta: (Banff, Alberta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) Temperatures make the cut, but too wet in summer and borderline too cool during the day. In the rocky mountains.

Jackson, WY: (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson,_Wyoming) summer highs and lows are a little warm/cold, only 71 inches snow, May is wettest month, only one over 2 inches. In the rocky mountains.

Vail, CO: (Vail, Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) temperatures make the cut, too much precipitation in summer, 183 inches of snow. In the rocky mountains.

Steamboat Springs, CO: (Steamboat Springs, Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) summer days too warm, 171 inches snow, too much precipitation in summer. In the rocky mountains.

The last four are known for their skiing and winter sports, the first two are too tiny.

- Summer high MUST not be 20C or above

- Winter low preferably below freezing to -10C, but colder is still ok as long as it's reasonable

- It must get over 500 mm of precipitation per year.

- Annual sunshine should be between 1000 and 2219 hours.

Comparison of my climate to the closest cities I could find. If anyone can find a better fit, then let me know!

Summer: Hot and humid*; average high in the lower 90s; 20 inches of precip; steamy days often interrupted by short thunderstorm showers with heavy rainfall

Autumn: Cool and dry; average high in the upper 50s; 5 inches of precip; mostly sunny and very breezy, with light rainfall spread across the season

Winter: Chilly and humid*; average high in the mid 40s; 7 inches of rain and 15 inches of snow; 60% overcast with drizzle and/or fog

I will revise my criteria a bit.

Winter: Moderate sunshine, about 50% possible. Highs 5-25F, lows -15-5F. 120"+ of snow. I don't really care about the actual precipitation amount here, but the snow totals. I like powdery snow.

Spring: Cold to mild days and very cold nights. Plenty of thunderstorms later in spring.

Summer: Summers have highs 64-74, and lows 38-52. Plenty of storms mixed in with breezy, mild, sunny days.

Fall: Fall arrives early, with first snows in September. Same sort of pattern as Spring, but reversed.

I'm thinking Missouri for you. But the summers there aren't as wet as you need it.

Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky looks like it could also be a very good match for you
