Some of the most epic winter weather I've experienced was in Sunriver around Christmas season 2016. Wasn't there for the -14 unfortunately but I was there for the two -7s. 2016-17 was just an epic PNW winter in so many ways. Could be years before we see another of its caliber.  |

yeah 16/17 is probably the best overall winter I've experienced in the PNW. Better than 2008/09, 2003/04, 1998/99, etc
Too bad I lived in Portland for 1996/97. That was unbelievably snowy in Vancouver.

Shitriver's summer average lows are inexcusable. I'd be running the heat year-round at night. It's also too dry every month except December, has a cold winter, and gets snow in May. E Y'all (everyone bitching about the cold summer lows) don't know what it's like there though. You'd probably be fine there unless you're outside early in the morning. The mornings can be cold but it always warms up to some very very comfortable temps (in summer at least). Uh- huh. I live somewhere with average summer temps in the realm of 80/60 Fahrenheit and it's barely warm enough here for it to feel like summer to me. Sometimes I do have the heat on in June or August on our chilly nights in the 40s. And I should not have to feel cold upon walking outside at any point in the summer, which I certainly would on most summer mornings in Sunriver. I'd imagine the frost-free season is pitifully short as well, making it hard to grow a lot of stuff. |

E. Too cold with too much snow in winter. Also summer nights far too cold.

yeah 16/17 is probably the best overall winter I've experienced in the PNW. That was my last winter in the region, and yeah, what a winter that was. I was living in Metrotown at the time and we had some level of snow permanently on the ground for three straight months (albeit with a couple of periods where it was almost all gone, but then a new snowfall came in and replaced it just before it vanished entirely). Totally unreal. Downtown Vancouver was much less impressive, though, as is generally the case for winter snow. |

I got used to the snow being present, the always freezing mornings, and the lack of rain.  Man that lack of rain might've even been the best part. |

I guess you both hope and pray every year that Vancouver turns into a continental climate with snowfall totals that match Quebec City or Sapporo. At least that is how it appears to me. I am just happy if it stays as close to average as possible. |

Man that lack of rain might've even been the best part. Yeah, the lack of rain was great. It was an especially stark contrast since October/November were ridiculously rainy that year, something like 7 rainless days combined between those two months if I remember correctly. yeah back then I worked in Burnaby not far from Metrotown.

I am just happy if it stays as close to average as possible. Not me, I was totally fine with Vancouver's mild winters in the years I lived there (even if they were way too rainy for my liking). I just find highly unusual months/seasons really interesting to experience. I'm not a fan of very snowy climates either, one of the few redeeming features of Saskatoon winters for me is that they're relatively dry. Quebec City and Sapporo are definitely not my preference in any way  |

I gave it a C. Spent a few winter weekends here in a rental house with my family and some family friends growing up. Would be cool to visit in the summer some year.
