Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Daisy itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Hopper, AR (9 mi, snow) and Murfreesboro 1w, AR (11 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast. Source: NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals, 1991–2020 and 1901–2000.
