The pre-1990 climactic norms for Vancouver would sure be nice.
It's called clown range for a reason.

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.

I actually just made it up, since there was no city I could find that matched what I would prefer.

Fall: Mostly crisp days with temps between +10C to +15C. Cloudy days with light rain or drizzle are ok too
Winter: +0 to +5C with lots of sunshine. Snow is ok when I have time off.
Spring: Usual Vancouver spring weather
Summer: High teens or low 20s with sunshine. Rain is ok once or twice a week.

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

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. :lol:
