E+. Low temps are way too cold, way too much snow (especially outside of winter  ), no cold rain, and kinda wet summers. |

100 thunder days per annum for such a cool climate (particularly the summers)? Weird.
Anyway D-

Its actually not too bad....except for those record lows ! Bloody Hell !
And to have recorded +100f at that altitude.... outstanding !
but too much blue in the climate box.... D+

100 thunder days per annum for such a cool climate (particularly the summers)? Weird. Anyway D- According to this source that I read: www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/thunderstorms-the-stormiest-places-in-the-usa-and-the-world.html"The other region that can contend (almost) with Florida and the immediate Gulf Coast of Alabama and Mississippi is a small area in northern New Mexico in the Sangre de Christo Mountains centered around the small town of Cimarron (elevation 6,400’) where thunderstorms occur about 110 days of the year. Not surprisingly, at one time a government lightning-research facility was located here. In July the area averages 30 thunderstorm-days, in other words virtually every day of the month." A thunder day in this definition being any day when thunder was heard at the location. The climate is cool due to elevation - so there isn't anything weird about the thunderstorm frequency, as the lapse rates experienced in summer are if anything steeper than a typical lowland location, and it appears that the high local thunderstorm frequency is largely topographically enhanced and very localised. |

If you're going to say something "definitely" is or is not the case, provide evidence for why or why not. I remember reading it from the source provided above, you can disagree with the source, but you don't know. Thunder-day averages are highly variable over small distances especially in topographically complex regions, and thunder-day maps have smoothed averages, which don't show the absolute low and highest numbers of thunder-days for very localised areas (the resolution of the map being too low). Same here, where the Met-Office thunder day maps don't show local variations by topography, for example. |

I know Cimarron, I used to have to drive through there when I would pull loads between Phoenix and Denver, it's similar to Show Low, AZ climate wise. D- Too Cold For Too Long

C-, assuming sunshine over 2400 hours. Rather dry and cold with large diurnals, but with a good amount of summer storms

Sumer lows are too chilly. While winter temperatures aren't super offensive, I would still prefer warmer especially at night, and it snows too much.
