Rate the Climate: Thunder Bay, Ontario (snowy, hot, averages, precipitation)

I give this climate an A- grade. Absolutely perfect summers, awesome annual snowfall totals. Only negs are the record summer maxes (almost as high as ours, yikes), and the total annual precip being under 30 inches, but that's just me being picky. Given the chance, I'd jump at being able to live in such an awesome locale.

Awful. Temperatures are lower year-round than here. Winters are much colder, summers are way too chilly. Just slightly sunnier as Freiburg but not enough to make up for those subarctic temperatures. Plus I hate snow.

D- because it's a relatively sunny climate.

B+, the only copmplaint is relatively colder than ideal winters.

F. Absolutely horrendous!

[Caleb Yeung]

Summers are too warm, winters are too cold, and the place receives less total precipitation than I'd like but it's not major. C

[Troms]

Not bad, but the precipitation is too low. However it deserves a B.

[Kaleetan]

D. I did not give an F because the summer humidity looks awesome. But other than that, pretty bad climate.

[Subtropical weather sucks]

I wish Toronto was as cold as Thunder-bay

Very good climate. Great winters and summers. Could use about double the snowfall (128 instead of 64 inches). I'd give it an A.

I see many people from warm climates saying how much they love the climate of Thunder Bay and other similar frozen wastelands (eg., Edmonton). I wonder how many such people have ever had to actually live in a cold climate? Do they really know what they're talking about? I suspect after a few weeks or months of a Thunder Bay winter most such individuals would jump on the first plane south.
