E, but I voted a D since it is closer to a D climate than an F one.
Too cold with nonexistent summers.

R for Refuse to Rate.
Reason? No precipitation data, and no choice of E on the ratings list. Das ist homosex.

I'll give it an E, as summer is quite poor but winter is still milder than in Minnesota at 8000 ft lower in elevation!

It's probably a fair bit colder than Minneapolis in winter. They actually are accurate. What you fail to understand about the west is the difference between valleys and hillsides at the same elevation, especially during the winter. The difference between cold air drainage (valleys) and thermal belts (hillsides). A great example is the difference between Sedona, AZ and Camp Verde, AZ. Sedona is a hillside location (a thermal belt aka banana belt), while Camp Verde is 1,000 ft lower and in a valley. Despite that, Sedona is warmer than Camp Verde in winter. Especially at night Yellowstone which you mentioned earlier is in a valley, while Kirwin is a hillside location in a thermal belt |

I do understand cold air drainage, inversions, etc. It just didn't seem accurate to me, I didn't think Yellowstone Lake was in a prime location for cold air drainage. I understand what you're saying, but what's the source of this data? |

I understand what you're saying, but what's the source of this data? Google, and based on Leadville's official NWS data being not too dissimilar, I think it's accurate. Leadville is just 1k ft higher and a few degrees further south in latitude, but NWS data is similar to Kirwin's |

Good winter temps but too cold the rest of the year. C assuming it gets a decent amount of precipitation, D if it's too dry.

D.
A grade winters but the other 9 months of the year are F quality for being way too cold.

Winters aren't bad, but I don't like how the average low is below freezing eight months out of the year.
