Its a Solid B climate in my opinion

F IMO. I hate cold, especially when it lasts for months on end, to then be rewarded with a short summer.

Good, but the winters are a bit too long and the summers a bit too dry. A-

How often does it cross 90 F there. I am surprised the record high is less than 95 F. BMI, care to help me out.

1/3 of the year is terrible, and it has too much rainy days for such low ammount of precipitation, summers are fine though.

B/B-. Would have been A- if Nov thru Jan had 50% more sunshine. Also Kingston can thank Lake Ontario for the greatly warmer autumns, not to mention the tempered heat; yes, spring is noticeably delayed but I never liked over-the-top spring heatwaves only to be later followed by freezes

Pretty good. B+. Better summers than ours, and winters aren't too bad. I've driven through Kingston a few times, but never really saw much of it.

C...Winters are too long and too cold without any warm spells to break things up. Summers could also be slightly warmer as well.

Winters are great with lots of snow. The rest of the year stinks. Too cool.
