I learned this place from Crunch41 in the shoutbox yesterday and it's definitely an interesting climate, especially considering how seasonal Minnesota normally is in comparison to this Lake Superior shoreline climate...
I'd say E. August and September are okay, springs are miserable. Winters are too cold as well, but definitely better than in many other areas of the state, at least being equal in temperature to Minneapolis.
As for sunshine, I would guess it's in the lower 2000's.

D-. Not good.
I spent a night there last summer, cute town and pretty good scenery for Minnesota.

C; worst climate in Minnesota by far.

C+; cold fucken desert with frigid crummers, only worsened by its subpolar latitude  |

C+, Summer is too short and too cold. Winter is good, but doesn't get much snow. A few miles inland the summers are warmer. The weather station here must be very close to Lake Superior Nearby Isle Royale might be even colder in summer, but it doesn't have as much data because nobody lives there year-round. wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?mi5637Here's a few similar climates with cool summers. All of them must get wind coming across the water often. The Canadian side is even worse, Eagle Harbor, Michigan: On the northern tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula in Michigan. Similar to Grand Marais. Whitefish Point, Michigan: Not a peninsula, but it's close. The Canadian side is even worse, cold in all seasons. Pukaskwa National ParkWawa, OntarioLake Michigan has warmer water, this island in the northern part has 24C highs instead of 22 in Grand Marais. Winter is warmer too. wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?mi7277For Minnesota in general, the worst climate in the state is probably Embarrass.It has the coldest annual average temperature and is only 1 degree from a subarctic climate. It has some of the coldest winters and short, cool summers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarrass,_Minnesota#Geography_and_climate The warmest climate in the state is Winona in the southeast corner. Cold, but not extreme. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winona,_Minnesota#Climate |

47N is now a subpolar latitude?  |

47N is now a subpolar latitude? It always was, you mongoloid  Penguin latitude starts from 45ยฐ S/N onwards, jajajajajajaja! |

47 N is too close to halfway between the Equator and the North Pole to be called "subpolar", it would be the equivalent of calling 43 N a "subtropical latitude". Subpolar starts in the high 50s (57+ N) latitude IMO.
Of course, subpolar climates can extend well below 50-55 N, but those are more climates that are cold for their latitude, most climates at 47 latitude are temperate climates.

Oh I didn't know where the penguin latitudes start. Uneducated mongoloids like you tend to have weird depictions of whatnot. But as seeing that you're neither very smart or educated, I'm not surprised. Ok, 45N is now a penguin latitude.

Here's how I see it:
Equatorial = 0ยฐ-13ยฐ S/N;
Tropical = 14ยฐ-23ยฐ S/N;
Subtropical = 24ยฐ-32ยฐ S/N;
Mid-latitude = 33ยฐ-45ยฐ S/N;
Subpolar = 46ยฐ-58ยฐ S/N;
Polar = >59ยฐ S/N poleward to ~89ยฐ S/N
Remember that there are 68.97 miles (111 km) between each parallel of latitude.

This is my scale:
Extremely low latitude/deep tropical/equatorial: 0 - 11.25 N/S
Very low latitude/solidly tropical: 11.25 - 22.5 N/S
Moderately low latitude/tropical grading out to subtropical: 22.5 - 33.75 N/S
Low-mid latitude/subtropical grading out to mid-latitude: 33.75 - 45 N/S
High-mid latitude/mid-latitude grading out to subpolar: 45 - 56.25 N/S
Moderately high latitude/subpolar grading out to polar: 56.25 - 67.5 N/S
Very high latitude/solidly polar: 67.5 - 78.75 N/S
Extremely high latitude/deep polar/in the vicinity of the poles: 78.75 - 90 N/S
In the transitional latitudes (22.5 N to 67.5 N) you could divide it like this:
22.5 - 26.25 N/S: Transition from tropical to subtropical
26.25 - 30 N/S: Low latitude subtropical
30 - 33.75 N/S: Mid-latitude subtropical (meaning the mid part of the subtropical latitudes)
33.75 - 37.5 N/S: High latitude subtropical
37.5 - 41.25 N/S: Transition from subtropical to mid latitude
41.25 - 48.75 N/S: Mid-latitude
48.75 - 52.5 N/S: Transition from mid latitude to subpolar
52.5 - 56.25 N/S: Low latitude subpolar
56.25 - 60 N/S: Mid latitude subpolar (meaning the mid part of subpolar latitudes)
60- 63.75 N/S: High latitude subpolar
63.75 - 67.5 N/S: Transition from subpolar to polar

Hereโs my scale:
Equatorial: 0-10
Tropical: 11-23
Subtropical: 24-35
Mid-latitude: 36-45
Moderately high: 46-56
Subpolar: 57-65

"Very high polar/deep polar" just sound rather too strange for my liking; polar should be the opposite of equatorialโthere is no "deep equatorial", likewise there is no "deep polar".
Perhaps I'll revise:
Equatorial = 0ยฐ-13ยฐ S/N
Tropical = 14ยฐ-23ยฐ S/N
Subtropical = 24ยฐ-33ยฐ S/N
Lower Mid-Parallel = 34ยฐ-41ยฐ S/N
Upper Mid-Parallel = 42ยฐ-49ยฐ S/N
Subpolar = 50ยฐ-65ยฐ S/N
Polar = >66ยฐ S/N poleward to ~89ยฐ S/N

So to me, high or deep polar makes sense as an opposite for deep tropical. Yes both the 5 and 20 degrees are tropical but not to the same degree, just like both 70 and 85 degrees are both polar but not to the same degree. 5 degrees is "deep tropical" as it's nowhere near any mid-latitude, just like 85 degrees is "deep polar" or "high polar" because it's nowhere near any mid-latitude. |

C+
Decent winters and they get more thunderstorms than here so it's at least a C+ of course. The summers are a tad too cool though.

It should be noted that, despite the lower snow total compared to nearby places like Duluth, Grand Marais seems to have a snowpack that persists longer into spring, per snow depth data. This year it apparently persisted to nearly mid-April, despite only traces of snow in the month (until the 16th, when two inches fell, but by that time, the depth had already reached zero).
