This is my best estimation of an average mid-latitude climate based on selected weather stations spread out over the latitude. I've chosen climates beneath 45°N and 46°N, with the exception of Bordeaux and Ulan Hot slightly miss out by less than 0.1°, which was why I was lenient and included them for geographic diversity of climates on a longitudal basis. So this is essentially what a typical climate right in between the Equator and the North Pole would look like, in other words quite similar to Southeast Wisconsin...
Those chosen are: Bordeaux, Milan, Rijeka, Galati, Krasnodar, Kyzylorda, Karamay, Mandalgovi, Ulan Hot, Harbin, Terney, Wakkanai, Portland (OR), Billings, Aberdeen (SD), Minneapolis, Charlevoix (MI), Ottawa, Fredericton and Port Hawkesbury. Some mountainous and arid areas without populations and much in terms of weather stations were unable to be properly covered unless I'd done some really deep research. Also, Kazakh, Chinese and Mongolian aren't languages I know a single word of!
By landmass: Eurasia 12 North America 7 Hokkaido 1
Either way, I've ran them all in Excel and came up with these averages.
The snow is guesstimated based on a 1:10 principle. Sunshine would probably be about 2,500 hours judging by the variety in between the 1,400-ish of Wakkanai and the 3000'ish of Mongolia and the Central Asian desert regions.
My rating is a B-/C+ eventually settling for the latter due to March being a bit disappointing. Winter is a touch too cold, but liveable, whereas summers are not ideal, but it's better than the average climate on this planet for sure. Assuming it has a moderate summer humidity and still very good snowfall in winter (thanks Wakkanai for salvaging that), this should be one of the better humid continental climates for me. Under Schmöppen it's a Dfb, just falling short of the "a" with 0.1°C in July. The annual range is between 21.9°C for July and -6.0°C for January.
Ariete , where would this stack up among your ideal continental mid-latitudes climates? tij , looks like a hybrid between Minneapolis and Providence doesn't it?

Lol goes to show Bordeaux is more anomalous for its latitude than Minneapolis which is pretty typical.

D+. Winters are far too cold and shoulder seasons are too cool. Average annual temperature (8.5C) is similar to Minneapolis, Toronto, Shenyang, etc. which are also D+ climates.

A+++ Nice one! I've had a similar idea as well but never bothered in compiling the data. If it's not too much trouble, can you do other latitudes as well?  |

Nei said he wanted to do computer-generated stuff, but human input is way funnier so I may well do a few more  Any specific latitudes Vancouver man wishes? |

I wished for 52 north so we see how cold London should really be !

A–; splendorous climate! Just needs more winter precipitation, and warmer winter lows—too bloody frigid. Winters are also too unstable, with too much chance of winter warmth.
Higher diurnal range in summer is also required for to straddle A or even A+.

A- is probably warranted for that one.

How about 35N vs 35S? SH would have a lot smaller sample size, but maybe  |

Lommaren hmm... kinda, but more in Mpls's direction still-- Milwaukee area is a good approximation (I wonder that if we base it population wise at this parallel, would it be different?). More snow than either probably due to eastern Canada and Hokkaido. I'll give it a B-/C+? May, June and September seem nice actually! Winters are too cold, and July/August are edgy. You should try this for a bunch of latitudes and have us rate the climate and select the best one? My guess is that I'll choose 42N or something like that? The problem will be that oceanic climates at higher latitudes (where most people live at these latitudes) will be swamped by the likes of Mongolia and Manchuria...

This is basically my climate with more even precipitation. Annual temperature, temperature range, and precipitation are all close.
A-, same grade as my current climate. Summers look a little less humid and it gets more snow than I do. As with my climate, too warm in fall and winter.

This looks like a Great Lakes snowbelt climate. Probably exists in some tiny pocket of OH/PA/NY southeast of Erie.
It's nice. B.

B+, very similar to my climate. Not quite cold enough year round for me. I'd like snowier as well. But overall a nice climate
