Well, I gotta say this is one of the best climates in the southwest, besides Cloudcroft, NM. A- for me.  |

Too cold all yea rround, summers look pretty interesting though. Probably heaps of good skiing regions around the town. E, at least it's pretty liveable at daytime from may to september.

B. Like the snow and summer temps, but the lack of winter cold concerns me about the reliability of snowpack

Seems like the mean is not the mode. It looks like some months have absolutely massive snow totals while some are tiny. As an example: December 2002 = 30.4 inches, January 2003 = 1.6 inches, February 2003 = 46.9 inches. Edit: Nowdata also has a day in April 1917 that supposedly had a maximum of 92F and a minimum of 0F. Considering that May's record high is 89F and there was snow recorded the following day, I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 29F instead.  |

^I doubt that any place ever (on earth) has recorded a max of 92 and a min of 0. Closest I can think of is OKC which posted a day with 83/17 (iirc) a couple decades ago.

Apparently the largest diurnal range ever was 102F in 1916 somewhere in Montana. It's possible, but very unlikely. Probably a recording error. |

^No I definitely believe that 100 F daily range in Montana. Those kinds of events have been documented when a powerful temperature inversion has caused the temps to plummet to -40F or so, then a Chinook passes by and suddenly it rises to +50 F.
But to go from 90 to 0 you need something totally different, namely a really strong cold front like in that OKC event. But (as far as I know), even the strongest cold front followed by an equally strong inversion can't make the temp drop from 90 to 0. Too big of a gap.

Here is the monthly data for those two places in Montana. I would love to see hourly data if someone knows where to find that. Or a news article if it made the news. Browning's 100F drop shows up as two days on the daily data. 44F on the 23rd, -56 on the 24th. 0.5 inches of snow was observed that day, too. And 4 inches on the 26th that was -22/-52. Overall an extremely cold month that was more snowy than average. Normal for Browning is 28/8 in January. Great Falls was 28F below normal this month, close to the legendary February 1936 that was 32 below normal.
  Loma saw a 103F rise in 1972. They went from -54 to +51 to -15 within 5 days. A very snowy and cold month for Loma, too.   |

C. Good seasonal variety but winters are way too snowy and diurnal range is way too high for my liking.

C+, borderline B-... nights are too chilly, but days are decent... also too dry....

D. By average annual temperature it's colder than MontrΓ©al. Lows are horrible with probably only about 3 continuous frost-free months per year on average.
