I give this one an "A" grade, for it's long and snowy winter and decently mild summer. Sure would be a great place for a snowmobile business...lol.

I agree with PM's sentiment that this climate offers the reverse of the long summer / short winter here in the Deep South - I'm sure I could very happy living in such a climate.

Yeah, I'd probably be happy in a tundra climate. It's currently around 11°C here and I love it, I wouldn't mind that being the average daily high of the warmest month. In the winter I'd like at least a few months of solid -30°C. Plus tundra just looks gorgeous with its desolate, otherworldly feel.

Just curious, is there a particular reason why -30C is more preferable to you than, say, -10?

They feel quite different and I would like to experience both for extended periods of time during that long tundra winter. -30°C has that crisp quality to it, possibility of ice fog, and ultra crunchy, almost ringing snow. -10°C can be quite humid and biting, it's a different cold.

It's a different kind of cold. I can vouch for that, as can everyone I know who has experienced both -10C and -30C.
