===Climate=== At {{convert|6660|ft}} above [[sea level]] and nearly halfway between the [[equator]] and the [[North Pole]], West Yellowstone experiences a [[subarctic climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Dfc''), with cold — sometimes bitterly cold — winters and brief but generally warm summers. West Yellowstone is snow-covered from the beginning of November until the beginning of May. At the peak of the [[snowpack]], which typically occurs in early March, there is 3.5 – 4 feet of snow on the ground. In 2007–2008, West Yellowstone had snow on the ground from late October until mid May, with 4.5 feet of snow by late March. During the summer, the average low is {{convert|41|°F|°C|lk=on}}, and the average high is {{convert|78|°F|°C}}. During the coldest month, January, the average low is {{convert|0|°F|°C|abbr=}}, and the average high is {{convert|24|°F|°C}}.<ref>{{cite web
