🇳🇱 Amsterdam vs 🇺🇸 Scranton

Temperate oceanic — mild, cloudy, and rainy year-round

Amsterdam's North Sea climate means mild, grey, and frequently wet weather year-round. Summers are pleasant but unpredictable; winters are cold with fog and occasional ice on the canals (rare). The flat terrain and canals create wind exposure throughout the city.

Scranton in the Wyoming Valley of northeastern Pennsylvania has a humid continental climate influenced by the Pocono Mountains. The valley position creates cold air pooling in winter while the mountains above can receive significantly more snow. The city's mining history has created complex underground terrain that influences surface drainage and settlement.
