Would you want to live in a snow monsoon climate? I actually think I give this one a B-. I definitely think the winters are too wet and snow was a bit too high but the winter temperatures are nice for my liking. As for the summers I think there to dry and way to cold. So it classified as climate is boring in terms of temperatures and precipitation is a bit too extreme but still I would pick this over Yuma.
I'd expect the snow amounts to be higher than that with those winter temperatures, maybe around 800 cm per year. Snow doesn't melt into rain at an even 1:1 ratio, and it doesn't pretend to. (Although it is cool that it adds up to my lucky number as it stands.)
Overall, I'd give this climate an E. It's too gloomy (except in the summer), the winter precipitation is too high (but the summer precipitation is too low), and summerlike temperatures are virtually nonexistent. Depending on records, this might actually get a failing grade.
Although I also seem to remember a thread about a very similar climate a while back...

Reason: reword
I would give it a D-, cold summers and too wet overall. Something odd with the snowfall amounts also. Here are the averages for Stevens pass, Washington, very similar temps, only 6 inches more precip per year, but over 400 more inches of snow.

F......... for not thinking through the precipitation to snow ratio.
