Which months is best in Sweden ?

I bought my SkyWatcher EQ6 mount 2013, from that I started to take more astrophotos. In Sweden where I live the best season is from October to Mars when it's darkest, but also cold. Sorry to say we have a lot of clouds, how does that influence the number of nights I can do astrophotographing ?

I have collected all my nights with astrophotos in a simple database. From that I can get some statistics. One example is a table over the accumulated number of astrophotos each months over the years.

It can be seen that I get much more astrophotos at the spring compare to the autumn, even if the darkness is about the same. That's because of the clouds.

Have a look here:

The light pollution is worse in the winter season.
