is this really your dream climate? I doubt that you have the time or the energy to shovel snow all day. You will probably hate living in this climate after a day or two. Give me Oymyakon over this.

As you will recall, this is my dream climate. Do you really think that I would rate my own dream climate an A instead of an A+? As for shoveling snow, I like to shovel snow, especially the powdery variety, so that wouldn't pose a problem*. However, I prefer more distinct storms to come and go through the winter mixed in with some sunny days, as opposed to a continuous snowfall. Christina Passage is a good climate, but it isn't my dream climate. And as for hating it for more than a day or two, if I hated shoveling snow after a day or two, I wouldn't pass myself off as a cold and snow fan; as you might infer, I do not hate it.

*Of course, I don't have the time to shovel snow all day, but with a base rate of 2 inches per day, it wouldn't be necessary to shovel more than once per day. What would you do - shovel every quarter inch as it falls ? One could argue that trying to remove 50 feet of snow (the average seasonal amount) would be futile, and it would be best to adapt to it as I outlined previously.

This is my dream climate. Would you give it an F? Wimp!
I thought it was Coltingbury?

Well I have several dream climate cities in my dreamland which I would fly between (on my custom designed aircraft) and spend different times of the year in when I get a bit bored of one before moving to the next.

Interesting. Although I like my dream climate, I do have quite a few places I could fly to for variety. There's a certain mountain range that gets insane amounts of sea-effect snow, and that would prove to be quite a destination.

We should create data for each city and town in our countries. I would use a TBM700 or PC12 to fly to places in Sunland, or if I could afford it, a G650

Well, this thread remains open. As for the aircraft, I'm torn between a private jet and an ultra-high speed rail (like 400-600 mph). Pulling into the train station is cooler than landing on a runway, but then again, I've seen to it that the cloudscapes in my continent are spectacular, especially when seen from the air. On the other hand, the strong storm systems create frequent turbulence, but that can be overcome by flying above the weather. I suppose I'll use both .

I like to observe low-altitude clouds quickly passing by from a high speed train (going about 200 mph). You get ever-changing cloudscapes, 10-second showers and micro sunny intervals. A 400-600 mph speed would increase the effect and extend it to mid-altitude clouds.
