Annual mean, precipitation and precipitation days are identical Not enough snow but still gets an A+

This is a great thread, love that you bumped it Steelernation . Precipitation (45.31"), snowfall (23.2"), and average annual temperature (54.3ºF) are the current values here. I'll take the liberty to change the record highs and lows. Still too cool year-round though, but pretty much perfect otherwise, so I'll give this an A-, assuming there are only a few days with snow cover.

Modified Sheffield - Improvements whilst retaining mean temperature, precipitation quantity and sunshine hoursSo here we have "Modified Sheffield" - retaining the mean temperature, precipitation quantity, and sunshine hours. So, what has changed? The following items have been changed:- Winter diurnal range increased
- Winter sun hours increased
- Winter made drier with few rain days due to my hatred of cold rain
- Springs are a bit colder (had to compensate somewhere for the milder summer lows and winter highs)
- Summers diurnal range decreased, much milder nights and slightly milder highs
- Summers get the most rainfall, and it is all convective
- Summers had to get duller to allow more winter/spring cold season sunshine
- Record highs are lower in summer and higher in winter
- Record lows are different

I thought it was a good time to revisit this thread. Sheffield's climate edited to my ideal but with the same annual temp, precip and sun hours. Last time I did this I cheated and had too few rain days. This time I have the correct number. So what changed? Now Sheffield has a more temperate climate with more even max temps, a more comfortable summer, with drier winters and wetter autumn. Heat has been erased because it is unnecessary rubbish, and sun is more evenly distributed.

I first added daily mean, average humidity (morning + afternoon figures / 2), dew points (online calculator) and sunshine hours (calculated by this); to allow conversions with my dream climate. Also, I changed the precipitation day threshold to 1.0 mm, and pretend that the 0.2 mm threshold has the same amount of rain days (so no sideways drizzle). Modified, it is a Cfa climate; and is practically my dream climate, but 0.5ºC cooler, drier and 13.8% cloudier. These are my changes: Winters have more extreme records, are drier, a little cooler; and yet unfortunately, a little more cloudy. Springs are more changeable (compare those diurnals) and warmer, with similar rainfall. and are still cloudier than normal. Summers are slightly wetter, warmer and finally a little more sunny! Extremes are more frequent, whether at day or night. Autumns are significantly more variable, with a faster temperature decrease, more sunshine and less rain. Overall, it earns an A; only improvement it really needs is more sunshine year-round for an A+. Everything else is fantastique, à mon avis. Modified vs Original (with added extras for comparison):

Surprisingly hard to make. November-March milder than Fort Collins was a must but I had to sacrifice warm season lows and make them chiller than ideal as our current winter lows are way too cold. Several days a winter month in this climate would get both snow and rain so it still rains a couple days in winter and there’s still some heavy snow. Summer also gets some dry thunderstorms. A- for this climate, too dry in winter and spring and lows too cold.

Out of curiosity, I made Vostok Station but it's not entirely shades of blue. 3 months I would like (though too dry), 2 months of a Dxa/Dxb winter, 2 months resembling unmodified Vostok, and 5 months of weather on Jupiter (though no wind). Since Vostok is so damn dry, I decided to make all precipitation occur in the mildest five months: for some snow and rain. Also, I decided to lower the latitude to 35ºS, and make winters have close to 100% sunshine (while summers have 75%). Even though 7 months of the year are indoors-only, at least it has a clear sky outside. Wind is non-existent for most of the year, but breezy weather dominates the short warm season. An E for me, at least there is some orange and even red in the weatherbox.
