Wettest months. An A+ climate, in fact!

I think you may have mixed up some things in the month of May for Coldest and Warmest? Those don't look right at all.
Anyway, my choice is snowiest, which I predict will surprise absolutely nobody. Coldest is tempting, but it looks like winter gets just abruptly cut off. April's average low is the lowest temperature recorded in all of May? That just doesn't look right. At all.

It's warmest/coldest by the monthly mean. In May's case, it's 1995 for the coldest and 1994 for the warmest. The record low just happened to be a measly 30F, according to the data available. These are all from Denver-Stapleton. |

Snow in July?!? That's as bad as Calgary.

Where’s regular Denver? Really fucked up an A climate here lol.
Still an easy decision though for Warmest.

This is a great battle. I'm having a hard time deciding between wettest, snowiest and coldest. Coldest has the best winters (obviously) wettest has the best precipitation. I'll choose coldest, but let the record show that it ain't by much.  |

Interestingly, the temperature profile for "warmest" is pretty similar to Las Cruces, NM. Obviously the precipitation in NM is affected by the mid-late summer SW monsoon, unlike Denver which normally has a precipitation peak in April-June, as can be seen on the "warmest" climate. September 2013 with its 13.89" of rain caused catastrophic flooding as most of that fell in 1-2 days.  |

Warmest for me.

This is a really good battle actually, you get to see the climate in a whole new light than just the averages by themselves.
I'll go with snowy Denver - you still get a summer (though how can you get trace snowfall in July/August with 10-12C record lows?), don't know the averages off-hand but it's only April/October that look that unusually cold, and given none of the highs in the winter months look that cold they still must have had plenty of mild, sunny days.

If I'm not mistaken, I think that "trace" of snow in July/August might be hail?

This is a tough one. I'm torn between the wet and the cold version. I'll give a slight edge to cold Denver, but I do love all the precipitation in the wet one.

Warmest anything is best.

Deffo the wettest, a definite improvement over real life Denver. I love how mild Denver's record lows are in summer. Even the cold version doesn't get into the single digits during the core summer months (the monthly record low being a benign 9.9°C in August).

Wettest, warmest, and coldest are tied. Will anyone break this unholy tie?
Interesting how the coldest has more precipitation days than the wettest. It's not by much but it is more. Through these exercises we can attempt to learn more about hidden patterns in interesting climates such as Denver's.
For what it's worth, the all-time month with the highest precipitation days is May 2015 (25 precipitation days) but it only had 5 some inches of precipitation. That was a surreal month with thunderstorms nearly every day.

Coldest looks great. Just get rid of that random 70 in February and have less snow in October. A- climate.
Warmest is too warm and extremely dry. D.
Snowiest is too mild in winter, somehow. Plus I don't want snow 10 months of the year. The coldest month is -0.3C and the warmest is 21.4 so it's a Cfb climate by Koppen, and borderline Cfa/Dfa/Dfb.
Driest is bad. Better than Turpan, I guess. E.
Wettest is too wet and half the year is stuck in the 40s or low 50s for highs. C-
Denver gets a ton of snow despite having low monthly precipitation and warm average temperatures. It must get almost zero rain in the cold months even though it gets above freezing most days.
