Editing Fraser, Colorado (section)

===Climate===
Fraser, with an annual mean temperature of {{convert|38.0|°F|°C|abbr=on}} (or {{convert|34.8|°F|°C|abbr=on}} based on another station in town) is one of the coldest incorporated towns in the lower 48 states. It can and does get frost year-round, totaling 287.3 nights under {{convert|32|F|C}}, rivalled only by towns in northern [[Alaska]] and [[Bodie, California]], among currently inhabited localities in the United States. The total of 63.4 nights under {{convert|0|F|C|1}} is also among the highest in the contiguous 48 states, but the 59.9 days with highs not topping freezing is exceeded by substantial areas of [[North Dakota]], [[Minnesota]], northern [[Wisconsin]] and the [[Upper Peninsula of Michigan]]. Both Fraser and [[International Falls, Minnesota]], have claimed the title "Icebox of the Nation", which has caused conflict between the two towns over the years.<ref name="icebox">Riccardi, Nicholas.
