Climate of Buenos Aires

[edit]
Snowfall in Buenos Aires on 9 July 2007
Snowfall in Buenos Aires on 9 July 2007
  • ... that snowfall in Buenos Aires is rare, being observed only thrice since the start of meteorological observations in 1906?

  • Improved to GA on 30 April, obviously long enough. Question with the first hook - the source names prior examples of snow in 1918 and 1928, so that would make the 2007 one the third, or am I misreading? With the second hook, I think some editing is required: is it called the Santa Rosa storm BECAUSE it is around August 30, if it's BECAUSE of that, it needs to be added to the article. ALT 2 fine, assume good faith on ALT 3. No QPQ needed. '''tAD''' (talk) 12:40, 1 May 2016 (UTC)
  • @The Almightey Drill: I have checked the source. Yes, snowfall in Buenos Aires has occurred only thrice, meaning the 2007 one is the third one. You did not misread the statement. Thanks for catching that 1928 snowfall event since I did not catch that. I have edited the page to reflect on this. I think ALT1 should be dropped. I only put it in as an alternative if the other hooks are bad but since it is fine to other users, it can be dropped. Ssbbplayer (talk) 13:31, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
