Re: Your Dream or Ideal Climate
The pre-1990 climactic norms for Vancouver would sure be nice.
It's called clown range for a reason.

Re: Your Dream or Ideal Climate
I was thinking an Anchorage climate, but Bones Juneau selection is a very close 2nd.

Do we guess what city that is? I'd bet it's somewhere in the Great Plains.

I'm guessing skipper Grumps would pick any place that puts him over the top year after year for the elusive snow contest cup that we can't afford.

Re: Your Dream or Ideal Climate
Impressive chart!! What program did you use?
My ideal weather. Great idea Typers, really had to think about it and still ended up pretty vague.
Summer - h 22 - 25 one short (3 day) heatwave a summer, no hotter than 30c, rain at least once a week, preferably at night with the occasional rainy day tossed in
Fall - 14 hours of daylight (if we're wishing for weather why not), good mix of rain and sun, a thunderstorm or two, a windstorm
Winter - snow from December to end of Jan, falls and melts in a day or two with a couple of good blizzards 20 - 30 cm where it sticks around for a week. One deep freeze - 5 to -8 the rest just below 0 so it snows.
Spring - a nice mix of weather, sun and rain, couple of storms, nothing extreme
Snow total: 1cm Dec 24, 1cm Feb 19

Re: Your Dream or Ideal Climate
Wikipedia weatherbox! All you gotta do is edit a random city/town page that has a weatherbox and fill in the sections you want to (ex. Average high/average low/extreme low/average precip/etc). When you're done, click "preview" and then take a screenshot. Just don't click save edits and publish, otherwise it'll update the page.Roberts Creeker wrote: ↑Thu Aug 11, 2022 9:55 pm![]()

Re: Your Dream or Ideal Climate
I'll take the following
Spring: unstable, could snow early, could t-storm, could be sunny
Summer: dry, mild, constant sea breeze
Autumn: dry, cool, no frost until late
Winter: very active, very wet, varying between thaws and deep cold snaps
