I decided to create three hypothetical climates for an alien planet with a highly elliptical orbit. One of them has winter during the aphelion (farthest away from the star), one has winter during the perihelion (closest to the star), and the last has equinoxes at both the aphelion and perihelion. For the sake of simplicity the Solstices/equinoxes occur on January 15th, April 15th, July 15th, and October 15th. Aphelion Winter: Perihelion Winter: Equinox:

The 2nd one obviously.
It’ll clearly get 100% of the votes except maybe alex.

inb4 Shalop picks Aphelion Winter
my vote is to the second one, obviously
also, I think your snow totals there are unrealistically low, probably more 8" per month

Aphelion because it's the wettest and snowiest.

Perihelion winter is an interesting climate due to the inverse relationship between day length and temperature. Anyways it's terrible but it's still an easy winner.

Equinox winter is basically just a less continental version of winter haven I picked perihelion obviously.

Aphelion Winter—the easiest climate to commit suicide in.
Don't even have to top myself...the –100° C temps will do that for me. Win-win.

Periphelion winter is the obvious answer for anyone who's not suffering from hypercontinentalitis...

Perihelion winter of course. The only one of the bunch that's actually liveable.

Perihelion for actually being habitable.

Perihelion winter because even though it's very shitty, it is still survivable
