Frühlingsdorf features intense, short winters and warm, stormy summers separated by long shoulder seasons featuring a lots of stable and comfortable weather. The frost-free period extends over 9 months in a typical year.
The record highs for December and January seem extremely unlikely (way too low) given the average highs for November and February. Anyway D- from me too rainy.
Not bad at all buddy. This is really a type of continental climate I could somehow enjoy. I love snow but not for long periods (especially that it implies freezing weather) and hate periods with highs between 0°C and 10°C, yet your creation manages to escape both of those issues. I'd have appreciated more sun from Oct to Jan/Feb though but 2478 is a really nice yearly total.
C+ (probably the highest rating I've ever given to a climate with subfreezing winters)
That somehow makes me think about my gf's dream climate: "11 months of Nice summer; 1 month of Canadian winter"
I'm the same, it it had "normal" seasons it would get an A. As it is now, it's only a C. I'd like summer and winter to last longer.
The transition would probably be a little bit less linear, like:
Jan 30: 0
Jan 31: +1
Feb 1: -1
Feb 2: -2
Feb 3: +5
Feb 4: +8
Feb 5: +16
Feb 6: +14
Feb 7: +13
Feb 8: +17
After that it wouldn't be stuck on +16 every day, there would be some gentle variation, depending on weather fronts, like:
Mar 29: +18
Mar 30: +21
Apr 1: +22
Apr: 2: +17
Apr 3: +16
Apr 4: +18
But now that you've made me think of it, the average february high would be a bit cooler and March would be a bit warmer, because right now the temp curve looks weird.

Yes, they're indeed extremely unlikely. It's a purposely improbable climate. A climate than averages -3/-11°C in January has to be totally unrealistic to recieve such high grades from nei and dhdh.
