D, Nov through March are too cold and snowy, and Dec and Jan can get horrible temperature inversions which cause steady temps between 0Β°F and 20Β°F and freezing fog. I've been in SLC during one of those events in Dec 2015, was horrible. May to Sept is awesome there though, which saves it from an F

Not really a fan. Too dry and sunny but there's far worse out there. Snow is decent.

I wonder how much of a UHI there is because the diurnals in summer are closer than I thought they'd be. Very much. The most extreme UHI in North America outside of "megacities." |

B-. February-May and September-October are nice but summer is too hot and dry and winter is too cold with too much light snow. Also too stable.

B. Too cold in winter and too dry. Revising this to a C, and that's generous. Not sure what I was thinking here. SLC is an extremely anti-life climate. |

C-
Technically a Csa Mediterranean paradise according to Koppen Schmoppen. But with those cold winters, especially those record lows (freezing in June and -30 F in Feb, yikes!) and the chance of snow in May, it's not different enough from my own climate to rate it higher, especially considering May-Nov are all far too arid.

That freezing low in June, by the way, coincided with the only June snowfall ever recorded there. 2.0" on June 6, 1914. But if it's any comfort to you, that -30F in February is an outlier. Aside from that record and the -26F low the following day in 1933, the lowest February temperature is -14F. |

It can't anymore. SLC might be the fastest-warming place in North America outside of the Arctic region. Nine of the top ten warmest years on record there are 2012 and later, and the tenth is 1934. There really was a massive shift in the climate of the west in 2012, and I'm not sure how or why no one seems to talk about it. But combine it with SLC's bizarrely extreme UHI and there's no way June snow is happening this century. |

C, good seasonal range but summer is too hot and dry for me. I made a 2012-2022 weather box. Compared to 1991-2020, it's worse for me. C or C- grade. Highs +1.3F Lows +0.5 Mean Max +2 Mean Min +4 Precip -9% Snowfall -20%  |

I was bored so I made cherrypick Salt Lake City:
(Typo in the source years at the bottom that I'm too lazy to fix - May is missing. It's 1975.)
One peculiar and striking feature of this climate that doesn't show up well in wikiboxes is just how much cooler and more variable June is than July and August. The coolest June and coolest July on record are separated by 10F, coolest July and coolest August are separated by less than 1F. It seems like fronts are basically nonexistent from the last week of June to the third week of August or so.

C-, good amount of sunshine, but obviously too continental and dry for me

C. Too cold in winter and doesn't seem to get that many storms. BUT, summer temps are good (especially in July and August in recent years) plus sunshine hours are decent enough so you could do a lot worse.
