This is roughly where my climate is going to end up with recent averages, so it got me thinking about which climate in the world within this range members here find to be the best? Personally, I'd go for Portland, Maine due to the very nice summers, along with snow-safe winters that still have highs around freezing. As an additional bonus, there aren't too many summer rainfall days either.
Kelowna is another good candidate in many ways, but snow cover is not slightly to be permanent during most winters, with an annual total similar inland areas around here, but with frequent temps above freezing. Vasilievichy is not too bad either. Binghamton is at 7.45°C at the airport and Buffalo is just too warm to qualify, but I'm sure there are many climates in Upstate New York that are decent candidates for such a list elsewhere.
As far as worst go, it is difficult to overlook Fair Isle. Damn, that is bad. |

Best Climate Only!Kiandra (1,395 m AMSL) straddles only 6.8° C about the annual mean, but it's close enough methinks:  Just like a colder, snowier variant of my own climate—or pretty much the summit of Shooters Hill, but with particularly frigid lows, of course (as it is a frost-hollow rather than a lone hill).

Well, the lower slopes that are being 0.7°C warmer then is your answer, knot? |

Well, the lower slopes that are being 0.7°C warmer then is your answer, knot ? Perhaps about 1,290-1,315 m AMSL should get the annual mean to 7.5° C, aye. The upper farmland about Lake Eucumbene (1,260-1,335 m AMSL) would be just right. |

The one with the highest diurnal range.
Lhasa is a good example, although ever so slightly too warm, but you get the gist.

Best = Odense, Denmark
Worst = Shenyang, China

Well, not much to think about here, as the OP already has very good answers. Kelowna and Portland both look like very strong contenders, but I'll go with Kiev. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiev#Climate
Fair Isle is definitely the worst.

These are my best picks: This one is 0.3'C too warm (but just go up a hundred meters and that's fixed, or use an older time period than 86-15). I wish it were wetter so that it could actually sustain forests, but otherwise it's as good as it gets at that annual mean.  Flagstaff is also pretty good. Still too dry.  And Bariloche is pretty much Ipswich but with 1000h of extra sunshine.  And add like 100-200m of altitude to this place and voilà!  And this one in Europe is also stellar. Basically Kiev but with much warmer and much sunnier winters.  |

COTTONWOOD, SD FUCKEN!!
Cottonwood
That’s an A climate, pretty much perfect! Worst is probably Fair isle.

Oh, I thought Kiev would be slightly too warm, rather than 8.4°C, anyway it's definitely top 3-material.

I'd go with Portland as well for being both sunny (unlike upstate NY & nearby parts of the Great Lakes) and getting decent snowfall (unlike Midwest west of the Great Lakes).

Here are four more.
Juliaca, Peru is 19/2 in the warmest month and 16/-8 in the coldest. Not my kind of place but someone might like it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VolgogradVolgograd has warm summers with an average of 29/18 but winter average is only -3/-10. Summer is dry but not completely dry. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OtaruOtaru is similar to Sapporo, with endless winter snow. January average is -1/-7 and August is 26/18. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LerwickLerwick is slightly too cold but somewhere nearby would work. Cool and wet most of the time.
Are there any islands in the south Pacific or Indian ocean with an average of 8C? That would be my pick for worst. Campbell Island is too cold only 7.0C. |

This is a pretty interesting one too. A lot of snow, and I guess rain too, and decent heat potential too. Not too cold winters either.  |

I would obviously go mad at all the cold rain in winter, but the sheer accumulation should keep some snow on the ground most of the time. That way, it might not be too bad at all. 28/9 is rather comfortable, there was quite a few days close to that last May here and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
