I finally found the climate data

I added climate data for this town today. Let me know if you have any questions, as the data may seem wrong at first glance ... cooler and wetter than surrounding towns, for example, and at odds with the "Sutton" on http://weatherbase.com which is located in a valley at the extreme east of town (or, more likely, in fact in West Burke). This station was apparently constructed in 2000 and therefore the period of record is short, so I chose not to add extreme highs and lows. Thanks, —Soap— 14:39, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

And for anyone who's bothered to dig deep enough, ... the average of 0.6" of snow in May is due almost entirely to this year's snowfall total of a bit over six inches. The obviously erroneous reading of 54" of snow in May 2004 is not incorporated into NOAA's data, as is explained elsewhere on that site. (Believe me, I would have remembered 54" in May because I was living near there at the time.) —Soap— 15:17, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WOW

Okay my eyesight has really gotten a lot worse in the past five years or so. I didnt even see the climate table that I had already added to this page two years ago. That data may well be the data for West Burke that I've been looking for all this time ... but if NOAA labels it as Sutton than I guess that's valid too .... the station appears to be within a few hundred feet of the border between the two towns. I will look more into this. For the meantime, both climate tables are valid! They are not the same station, and should not be combined. —Soap— 15:56, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Current status

Okay Im happy with the way the article looks now. Despite the embarrassing mistake of not seeing my own work from 2018 I was able to fully type up all of the data that is available for this town. For a small town, Sutton has been very well served by NWS weather stations, and it is possible that this has something to do with Northern Vermont University being right nearby, and their meteorology program. (I went to this school and remember seeing a graph of weather readings for West Burke, which may actually be the 1948-2017 station we list here). Also, though the old weather station was apparently decommissioned in 2017, it may still be reporting the figures and just not to the NWS, since there is still a hydrological observation station there. I may look into it in my spare time. —Soap— 23:58, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
