 As the name suggest, it's right outside the western border of Yellowstone National Park in Montana. Fall, winter and spring are very solid, but summers are lacking and too dry, also likely too sunny and dry for my tastes. 9/12 very solid months temperature-wise though earns a B. |

Not enough snow. F
Though seriously, it's a good winter wonderland climate. But the average lows are too cold, very short frost-free season. And a record low of -66°F is insanely cold for a non-subpolar continental climate [68°F colder than the monthly average low!]. So I'll give it an E

And a record low of -66°F is insanely cold for a non-subpolar continental climate [68°F colder than the monthly average low!]. So I'll give it an E I would assume the growing season is probably no more than 30-40 days? June and August's average lows are already in frost territory. July's average low is slightly outside of it, but a freeze in July isn't unheard of. Record low of 20 F in July! |

^ The July & Aug avg lows at West Yellowstone is ca 3C colder than at Røros, and Røros has occationally recorded freezing lows in July, so freezing lows in summer must be pretty common there. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B8ros |

C+. Too cold year round and too stable but decent. It’s dry and probably sunny enough to somewhat offset the chilly temps. The storms and the June and August snow would be finitely be interesting.

B+, for inland standards. Just for those FUCKEN EPIC diurnals!  Otherwise, much too chilly in winter and thunderstorm activity looks fuck all. |

I think they're pretty tame thunderstorms with modest rainfall totals. I was there in July a few years ago and it was pretty chilly in the evening. It's a solid C. |

Solid winters and comfortable summers. I don't think I would have to worry too much about warm, muggy summer nights in West Yellowstone. Only complaint would be the lack of rain and too much sun.

Record lows of -8 C, -7 C, and -9 C respectively for JJA at that locale, though with the high diurnal ranges it probably doesn't stay too cold for very long, allowing vegetation to recover? |

They’ve recorded a July and August freeze every year since 2008.
In the 3 summer months they average 11, 4, and 7 freezes since 2008.

Visited the Jackson Hole/Grand Teton/Yellowstone area once in June. Warm dry days, chilly nights. Higher elevations of Yellowstone have a very nice climate overall: A-. I believe -66 is the record low for the state of WY; I think it was recorded nearby in Jackson Hole during a strong inversion: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Hole#Climateen.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._state_temperature_extremesWeatherbase may very well be bullshitting those record lows as usual, since Jackson Hole is close to Yellowstone. Nowdata says record low is -47: w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=tfx. However KWYS does get to around -40F in a typical year so -60 might not be too far from an all-time record going back several decades. |

E. Simply too cold year round. Nice winter holiday destination though.

A-, could be a bit warmer in summer but this is a fantastic climate as a whole!

E, highs are manageable (better than significant parts of scandinavia imo) summer nights are far too cold for anything higher though.

B. Good for most of the year, but I don't want regular frost in summer.
