I see the climate of Blackmoor as something similar to Northern Europe or Britain. The Climate of the Skandaharian Lands would be similar to that of Scandinavia. Thonia's climate would range from southern to central Europe.

Yep, I'm sure Arneson intended a northern clime, quite possibly not unlike that of Minneapolis, but unless we assume it really is like Minneapolis or maybe Holland, there's still a really wide variation in possibilities regarding rainfall/snowfall, fog, etc. and that stuff can make a difference in a long term campaign. It would definetly be helpful to figure it out.
