This is my workspace and these are my tools.

Everything appearing on this page is valid climate data.

I may write an offsite script that makes the generation of climate tables easier, particularly intended for use with the PRISM tool. This will also make it easier for people to subtly vandalize Wikipedia articles with climate data that is almost but not quite correct; I know that every useful tool has another use. In the unlikely event that someone asks me for the script, I will make sure I trust them before I provide the link.

As with all userspace pages, the climate tables I draw up here are free for the taking, so anyone is free to copy them to the appropriate mainspace article at any time. I will maintain them here even after they are copied, because sometimes I find it useful to see two climate tables stacked side by side, in order to make comparisons between two different locations easier. Do note though that if I have a table here and have not already copied it to mainspace myself, there must be a good reason. I imagine that anyone who stumbles across this page will understand what they are doing.

=Stanley=

Stanley has an alpine subarctic climate with very cold winters and warm summers with a very large diurnal temperature variation. Frosts can occur at any time of the year. There are on average 290 mornings in the year with frost (10 of them in July) and 60 nights that reach {{convert|0|°F|1}}.{{cite web|title=Period of Record General Climate Summary - Temperature - NOAA|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?id8676|publisher=NOAA}} The cold weather is due to Stanley's location in a protected valley that traps cold air from the surrounding mountains, creating strong temperature inversions.

Thus Denver has the same average annual temperature as Indianapolis far to the east, even though Denver is located at an elevation over 5000 feet (even in the warmer part of town), and Indianapolis is near sea level.

This station is located at the Denver Water Department, downtown and somewhat west of the airport.

Sutton, VT

Sutton has a humid continental climate (Koppen: Dfb), typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot summers and cold winters. Exceptionally for such a small town, two NWS-certified weather stations have operated in the town for much of recent history. From January 1948 until spring 2017, the original station, located in a frost hollow at an altitude of about 1000 feet, reported data for the town. In January 2000, a new station was built in a hilly area a few miles away and at about 500 feet higher altitude. This station is still reporting today.

The two stations show distinct microclimates. At the valley station, a freeze has been recorded for every month of the year as well a temperature of at least {{convert|60|F}}.https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?vt8172 The newer station has a much shorter period of record, but NOAA also lists mean monthly maximum and mean monthly minimum temperatures, which are the highest and lowest temperatures one can expect in a typical month each year. From this one can see that the hill station has much less variability of temperature, with much less chance of frost during the warm months.

Four miles away on a hill,http://berkeleyearth.lbl.gov/auto/Stations/TAVG/Text/40342-TAVG-Data.txt a recently built weather station has data for the period from 2000 to 2020 only. The daily temperature amplitude is smaller, with warmer lows and cooler highs. Yet, despite the higher elevationhttps://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds901.0/station_libraries/state43.html of the new station, its temperatures are slightly warmer than at the valley station. There is more rain and snow here, as well.

Canada

Cape Sable Island has an oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification Cfb), with significant continental influence. The surrounding waters result in cooler summers, but milder winters, with less snowfall, than the rest of Nova Scotia. Summer temperatures are very low for the latitude, and the climate borders the subpolar oceanic (Köppen Cfc) type. At the peak of summer, in late August and early September, daily average high temperatures barely reach 15°C. Winters are wet and windy, but warm for Atlantic Canada. Snowfall is moderately heavy, but winter brings less snow than in virtually all other locations in Atlantic Canada, which commonly average much more snow per winter season (for example, Sydney, Nova Scotia [283 cm] and St. John's, Newfoundland [335 cm]). Summers on Cape Sable Island are cool with much more stable weather when compared to winters. Due to surrounding cool ocean waters, summer thunderstorms are very rare, but low clouds and fog are common. The strong influence of the Atlantic Ocean also produces exceptionally strong seasonal lag. On average, the coldest month is February, while the warmest month is September, coming in slightly warmer than August, and October is much warmer than June. The same pattern appears in nearby Clark's Harbour.

The island lies in the path of Nor'easters, which reach maximum frequency and intensity in winter, meaning this area's wettest months on average are December and January. Tropical weather systems, including, rarely, hurricanes can occur occasionally, generally entering the area from the south or southwest, with the greatest risk in September and October. Cape Sable Island is also prone to bouts of thick fog. Over the years the Cape's storms, and the close proximity of the island to shipping routes, has led to a substantial number of shipwrecks. The most tragic was the wreck of the SS Hungarian in February 1860 with the loss of over 200 lives. A lighthouse was established at the tip of Cape Sable in the next year.[http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/wrecks/wrecks/shipwrecks.asp?ID=2197 "SS Hungarian" Nova Scotia Museum Marine Heritage Database] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070713102225/http://museum.gov.ns.ca/mma/wrecks/wrecks/shipwrecks.asp?ID=2197 |date=2007-07-13 }}

https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?vt9099 says West Burke, not Sutton. It is thus possible that there were *three* weather stations in just this one small area, two in one town and a third just slightly over the town line.
