That's an extreme case, the true climate is here and, why not? March is clearly winter, and April is clearly spring. Even Brandon, Manitoba is like that.
Why do you think that? Weyburn, Saskatchewan is an example. Look at April. Average high: 11.2 °C
Average low: -1.9 °C
Is that winter? Definitely not.
Is that summer? Definitely not.
Is it spring? Undoubtedly.
That would be an extremely cool spring month though, 5c average is what we get in February and our February is hardly spring even though we usually get mild days.
That said, the average high is relatively mild and the days must be long so it must be a strange feeling. We do not get months with such a high diurnal range in the winter time (when we have those means), yet our April has a similar range (but is much milder).
That's a transitional month for me. May in Weyburn is definitely spring though, so it goes to show that this kind of climate has very short springs. I would say that November to March is full winter mode, April is transitional and so is october (which looks more like a november to me).
I tend to consider the actual temperatures more important.
I'd consider more "four seasonal" a climate that has -10 °C averages in January and +20 °C in July (30 °C difference) rather than a place who has -30 °C in January and +5 °C in July (35 °C difference).
Yes, but that wouldn't be a continental climate but a polar one. I meant only in (Cfa)/Dfa/Dfb/Dfc climates.

Weyburn is just a specimen, there are plenty of different "four season climates".

It's an undoubtedly a spring month there though. An average high of 10 C is certainly spring when your average high is -10 C in January and 26 C in July. If you lived in Saskatchewan you wouldn't think a high of 10 C is spring? You couldn't mistake April for January there.
If so, Watertown looks like having a very clearly defined spring.
Its March is like January in NYC. Clearly it's not spring, March is very much a winter month, and its April is like an average January in Perpignan. It's not a four season climate, it's a three season climates

Why do you think there's a fall in that climate, as opposed to not being a spring there? Is fall any different?

Lol, just because it doesn't fall into your narrow little definition of a four season climate doesn't mean it's not. It's stupid to say Watertown isn't a four season climate. I bet you think Savannah is more of a four season climate lol.
