Here's an extremely stupid and variable climate that I created, mostly as a curiosity.
Rate away...
January through early March are bone dry and BRUTALLY cold but HEAPS AND HEAPS of snow left on the ground from the "snow season" that has just passed.
April: The month starts off bone dry and cold with a week or two of very pleasant comfortable weather before the humid season picks up at the end of the month.
May through July: The humid season. May and June get progressively warmer and steamer and rainier with lots of increasing intense thunderstorms. July is crazy with torrential, nonstop downpours round the clock and steamy temperatures to go with it.
August and September: The monsoons end and it turns bone dry and intensely and brutally hot but with low dewpoints.
October: Cools off to very comfortable temperatures for a couple of weeks; warm days and coolish nights while remaining bone dry.
November: Wet snow season: Cools off for lots of wet snow in the middle of the month with temperatures just below freezing most of the time.
December: Crazy, nonstop dry snow almost every day. Builds and builds and builds and keeps building. Gotta have those plows working round the clock to keep people from being snowed in. Snow ends after Christmas and then the extreme brutal dry cold kicks back in for January.
Are you sure? December has a 26:1 ratio which is plausible in dry continental interiors. Except the precipitation is impossibly high for a dry continental interior. It would require a precipitation rate of 2.2 mm/hour if it rained the entire month. Saturated air with a surface temperature of -7°C has a water column of 6 mm total.
October looks like the most livable month. The rest looks either uncomfortable or lethal. Winter is farrrr too cold. And I bet the dew points and heat indices are off the charts from May through September. That entire period is way too wet, especially to be so warm, I realize that August and September are bone dry, but the ground would still be saturated.
I don't think a Z- even fits this climate, its grade goes into the Greek alphabet, like hurricanes when they run out of names.

I read cm as mm in the precipitation column, my bad. Sorry Adriana.
In metric countries (well, at least here), usually people don't use cm for precip totals, those are reserved for snow.
