The usage of coordination instead of subordination

Cf.: As the day was clear, we decided to climb the mountain.

The day was clear and we decided to climb the mountain.

The day was clear, we decided to climb the mountain.

The stylistic difference between these sentences is very slight but undoubtedly it does exist. It is the connection itself, but not the content of the sentence which is stylistically significant in this case.

The usage of coordination instead of subordination helps the author to show different aspects (planes) of narration.

e.g. He was more enthusiastic about America than ever, and he was not so simple, and he was not so nice. (E. Hemingway).
