Talk:Miles City, Montana

Pop Culture References
Miles City, Montana is mentioned by fictional character Sam Beauregarde in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971).

″Augustus Gloop (#1 on the map at 26:07) is from Dusselheim, Germany, Violet Beauregarde (#3) is from Miles City, Montana, and Mike Teevee (#4) is from Marble Falls, Arizona. Of these cities, the only one that isn't fictional is Miles City, Montana. Charlie Bucket's and Veruca Salt's hometowns are never mentioned throughout the movie, but it is likely Veruca and her family reside in the UK, especially since #2 on the map is over the British Isles. (Mr. Salt tells the workers he will give the one who finds a Golden Ticket a one-pound bonus and there is a sign inside the factory reading "SALT'S: THE PEANUTS OF THE QUEEN!")″ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.126.36.1 (talk) 05:36, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

In Lonesome Dove, this is the town Gus manages to reach while tied in the saddle after being wounded by an arrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.230.251.244 (talk) 12:25, 10 February 2024 (UTC)

Out-of-winter snowfall
The following was moved here from my talk page:

Magnolia 677, the relevant information about Miles City's September 1972 snowfall is in the second sentence under the Precipitation heading, below the map on Page 1. The information I added does not bloat the article and should be included. Miles City has only about a 50% chance of a September freeze, but when winter does strike early or strike back late it can deal nasty surprises to those who aren't ready. Persons who use Wikipedia as an information source in preparation for a Miles City move should have information about the potential for disruptive spring and fall weather.

 * I'm not sure why your edit needs to be included in the article. You have found two sources showing that snow falls in Miles City in seasons other than winter.  So?  If you look at the climate chart it shows that Miles City receives over four inches of snow annually in April and November, neither of which are "winter". The two sources you cite show that a lot of snow fell on these two days, but why is it necessary to give two examples?  Were these record-breaking out-of-winter snowfalls?
