I don't know if it is easy to gets stats reflecting this, but I was thinking of the fact that this year there seems to be a rather late spring in much of the Northeast and New England (and elsewhere I'm sure), while say Spring 2012 was a really early spring. I would be interested to know if there are climates where this variability is less common and most springs arrive consistently or have a consistent time when winter thaws/start of days with no risk of frost happen, year-to-year.

So perhaps a good measure would be, which climates stick close to averages in terms of the day of last frost/ or length of the growing season. These climates, if they exist, would be good for growing crops predictably without risk. But I want to know, not about climates that are mild all year round or vary little seasonally, but if there are continental examples that have a large seasonal range but stick close to averages.

Perhaps some familiar with gardening would know about some of these climates.

Does anyone know examples?
