I'd rate it a B. The main faults imo are that summers are too hot, winters are slightly too warm and spring is too warm and too dry. Snowfall totals are very good and overall temperatures aside from july are pretty solid.

Still not the worst climate in the world, and it at least gets some snow and some hard freezes. D+

Summer is too wet and too hot. Winter could use less rainfall, more snowfall and cooler temps but it’s not bad. Spring looks ok but too warm, don’t want consistent heat in May.

It’s borderline D+/C-, I’ll give it a C- for the interest factor as it gets exciting heat and probably some very nice thunderstorms.

BTW, very impressive that it’s gotten snow in April!

It’s actually gotten 2 inches of snow in April before (on April 16th(!) 1976 but I didn’t pick that month.

Somewhere elevated in Eastern AZ probably.

C. Get that snow off of April, and July and August look like steambath months, but it's still preferable to here.
