While I did Excel work regarding how much the cold subarctic 58°N Kuujjuaq has warmed in recent decades I discovered the most incredible year for a location in Northern Québec I could ever imagine. To put it simply: Kuujjuaq actually had a year that could fit right in with Arctic Sweden and Finland, as opposed to its normal near-tundra state. In addition, its December was milder than Stockholm's Gulf Stream-influenced and near-coastal UHI (!) for the only time in recorded history.
I've added F+ and F- as alternatives since I know that in spite of Kuujjuaq being more than 4°C milder than a normal year, I reckon a lot of votes will fall into that column. So, rate and discuss! My vote is for F+. Due to the inevitable spring seasonal lag in the wake of the Hudson Bay winds from over the ice cap, I can't really give it an E-. I'm sure the locals there would've rated the year a lot higher though. The sunshine was not listed, but the normal is between 1,400-1,500 hours per year.
