Talk:Breckenridge, Colorado

Snow and precipitation statements self-contradictory and make no sense.

 * The article states:

The city receives an average of 163 inches of snowfall per year.[13] The valley basin has only 30 frost-free days each year.[11]  The highest average precipitation occurs in July with 1.75 inches; the average low of 0.78 inches occurs in October.[12]


 * The above paragraph states that 163 inches of snow falls per year but the chart that follows it says that only 22.17 inches of precipitation (presumably mostly snow) falls per year.
 * The article goes on to say:


 * Variously, the article states that

The highest average precipitation occurs in July with 1.75 inches"


 * and

The average warmest month is July, when most of the average precipitation occurs. ...


 * To the contrary, the chart that follows shows 2.05 inches of precipitation in July, 2.09 inches in August, and 2.28 and 2.36 inches in December and January, respectively. So the 1.75 figure appears to be sourced differently at best.  The chart shows several months with over 1.75 inches of "precipitation."

It is doubtful that most of the precipitation (mostly snow) falls in July. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.167.95.67 (talk) 00:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Snowfall and precipitation are different. 1 inch of precipitation might involve many inches of snowfall. Snow being very fluffy and all. Crusty wallace (talk) 01:29, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Record low
The state record low is &minus;61 °F at Maybell, but the box here lists &minus;66 °F, so either the information and this station is unofficial, or that figure is flat out wrong. " My master, Annatar the Great, bids thee welcome! " 17:45, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Elevation
The elevation is listed at just under 13,000 feet while most sources list ~9,600. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.45.93.217 (talk) 18:58, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

72F in January and 71F in February
The records of over 70F in January and February are amazing when considering the elevation of this town .... and given that they both happened in the same year (1896),  and that that year was so long ago, i wonder if our measurements were corrupt. But this short temperature record is all we've got. — Soap — 00:21, 28 February 2021 (UTC)

Confusing info
While reading this article, I found that there is confusing information that the source does not reference in the 'Name' section. After searching through the history of the article, I found that the contribution was made by @Buaidh. The edit I am referring to is linked here. The 2 Breckenridges seems an insane coincidence, and is wholly unsourced. If more sources could be provided, then that would be greatly appreciated.
