I'm very surprised with your F rating. I do know you like the Climates of the Dakotas with the hotter Summers.
shoulder seasons killed it for me. Too cool. Summers are also way too weak. If I would only rate Chicago a C/C- then I would give Eau Claire an F Not exactly sure what an E means, is that better than an F? If so, maybe an E given their strong winters. Wisconsin def. has better climate spots imho...
I agree chicagogeorge rated ita bit too. harsh....it's at least a D.
He likes climates with similiar winters but hotter summers,
imo low 80s summer highs are not too bad.
Maybe I did rate it a little to harsh, but like I said, what really failed them was their shoulder seasons. Way too cool. And yes, their summers are rather weak. Madison, and La Crosse are better imo.
A solid B- climate. Winter is perfect, summer minima as well, but is less snowy than I would like, has too few precipitations and more than the rest as usual with US climates it is probably too sunny.
Winters look exciting but I really don't need them to be that cold, I'd be happy if they were like 4 to 5c warmer, like -1/-10c in january, that would already be amazing. Which leads to the problem Chicagogeorge pointed out, cooler-than-ideal shoulder seasons. There's still chance for full winter weather in April, no thanks. Summers are ok for me, as I don't need tropical weather for 80 days straight (it's already too hot for too long where I live, I prefer more variety). Maybe 17/29c would be better.
I'm sure they have very good sunshine stats, like 2,500 hours maybe ?
