Similar winters to interior areas of the same latitude in Sweden due to its proximity to the waters surrounding the Kola Peninsula, this former Finnish town in Russian Karelia is at 64.57°N. Summers are very cool however, with 18/11 averages. During a normal winter I'd estimate about 120-130 cm of snowfall. F+ from me; it's ever so slightly better than really northerly areas of Sweden but that's not saying much.  |

Too cool in the summer and too long winters.

F+. Too cold winter, too slow warmups in spring and way too cool summers. Also too wet.

Good from October - April, but sucks the rest of the year. Too dry for me as well, and those summers look depressingly cool.

Fully agree about the summers, but what I find impressive about them is the White Sea's influence keeping Septembers at 8.7°C and probably even above 9°C the last 15-20 years; this in spite of the intense cold bias. For me that's the sole thing that makes the climate interesting is that it does so quite at a distance from the Gulf Stream. Sure, there's a clear airflow route once they pass over the Norwegian/Swedish mountains, and there's a completely clear path for south-westerlies through the continent. Still the May record high is crazy warm for the latitude and being on the coastline of an actual sea. |

B–, by maritime standards. Plentiful snowfall and cold winters, but precipitation is rather too low and summers are much too warm. It doesn't look particularly squally, either, which lessens its score.

Six months averaging below freezing? E- for the brief thaw in "summer".
