Steven's Valley is a large city located in the interior of a huge Pangaea-like continent in my fictional planet of "Argus" that stretches from the North Pole to the South Pole. Located at 42 N, it has a heavily continental climate with very hot summers and very cold winters. During spring (particularly later spring) clashing air masses often result in severe storms. During Summertime the heat is enough to cause nearly daily afternoon storms, but it clears off at night usually for relatively comfortable night time temperatures. During Fall, the temperature drops very quickly and by early October, the season's first snowfall usually occurs. Most of the wintertime snows actually fall from late October-late November and again from late February until early April. Snow is usually on the ground from early November until early April. During December and January, arctic high pressure settles in usually, creating clear but very cold and dry conditions.The averages are as follows (temps in Fahrenheit):

Winters are absolutely terrible. Summers partly make up for it but mid summer is just too hot.

Probably a D from me. Winter is too cold, summer is too hot. Also, too sunny.

Myself, I give it a C-. Winters are very nice and cold but not enough snow, too much sunshine, and too hot from May-Sep.
