I'm not sure if this has been done before... but I thought I'd post it anyway. Which climate would you prefer?

I think I might actually go with St. John's for warmer record lows and slightly warmer summers.

Juneau by a heart beat, for less sunshine hours, and less intense sun angles. Temperature-wise, they are both perfect

St John's, as the better of two awful alternatives.

St John's, colder, snowier winters. Both climates are good though.

I'll go for Juneau which is warmer from October to June.

Both are totally bleak imo.

Both climates are great for the following things:

-Recovering From Porphyria
-Sleet Hunting
-Contemplating Death

Both are hovering around D-/F+ territory, but I'll give the edge to St. John's and its day of summer.

I had a hard time choosing, but I finally decided on St. John's. It looks like St. John's has a little more variation, and while it receives snow more often apparently, it receives less in total. To me that's good because I like snow, but huge amounts of snow at a time could probably be really inconvenient. Both climates look very nice to me.

This is a tough one. I think I'll give the edge to St. John's. I would assume they're more likely to get hit by strong wind and rain storms. To make an accurate choice, I would have to spend a few months in each climate. Maybe when I make my millions someday.

Yes, this is really hard for me to choose as well. Juneau's sunny springs compared to St. John's would be a nice way to transition from winter, so I'd choose Juneau over St. John's because of that. However, if climate was only one of several factors, I would choose St. John's

Drinking alone would probably be my favorite pastime in these places.
