B/B+. I like it a lot but it's not as good as eastern Colorado. It's too stable, a bit dry in spring and could use a tad cooler summers. Mostly minor complaints though.

D-

Too cold all year round, but at least the summers have dry heat. And the sunshine hours are good for its type.

And surprisingly there is not that much snow either.

I thought that too.

Much colder january than Colorado cities east of the Front Range,
Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, etc.
Conversely, summers are hotter.

C plus at best.

My ideal summer is Ontario, California, so other than monsoon season, GJ is close enough to that

D+. It has far too high sun hours, it is too mild in winter, it has too few snow and not enough rain at all. But the worst thing is the too hot summer maxima. Minima are acceptable but those maxima are not bearable at all for me. Pass this.
