Seems that Vostok Station isn't cold enough for some of the cold lovers on here as they keep creating colder fictional climates and giving them ratings higher than a Z.
Imagine that the sun shrinks creating a mega ice age plunging the planet into a giant snowball earth like it for a time hundreds of millions of years ago- Snowball Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Here's what a typical mid-latitude climate might look like in this scenario.
What would you RATE this climate? Would you "cold lovers" REALLY pick this over present day Singapore because you "hate heat and humidity" and "LOVE cold and snow"? Would you really pick this over present day Los Angeles because L.A. is sooo booooring weatherwise and you need some "weather excitement"?
Give it a grade and then tell me if there's any climate on present day earth that you would turn down in exchange for SNOWBALL EARTH!

I'll give it a Z-. Not a Z minus to the 100th power, because there will be a few moments in "summer" where you can go outside very briefly, when it is -80 degrees.
I know that- I just created this climate in an attempt to find one that the "hardcore" cold lovers would admit were inferior to Singapore. Especially when I see them create climates that are marginally colder than Vostok Station and give them grades like a C or a D and give places like Singapore an F for being too hot and humid and dry and mild places like San Diego an F for being too comfortable.
I didn't make mine quite as cold as fznamznon's as I had to make a "summer" warm enough to have a little snow fall as I had to have a light smattering of snow each year to tempt the cold lovers. It's very little snowfall but given that it never melts, there should be enough snow to produce a permanent snowpack.
