    Wet day: at least 0.01 inches (0.254 mm) of precipitation, including melted snow. This is not a rain-only count. Snowy day: at least 0.1 inches (2.54 mm) of new snowfall, not existing snow cover. Annual counts sum monthly average day counts; rare events may round to zero.

    Highs and lows are averages of daily maximum and minimum temperatures, not record extremes. These are published 30-year climate normals, not a forecast. Recent years can be warmer or otherwise differ. Season labels summarise June–August highs and December–February lows.
