Rain and snow in Peetz
Peetz gets 16 inches of rain and melted snow a year. May is the wettest month and January the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 61 days a year.
About 135 frost-free days a year

Heating and cooling a home in Peetz
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Peetz, 91% of that work is heating and 9% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
Degree days measure how far each day’s average temperature falls below or rises above 65°, added up over a year. Source: NOAA station normals.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Peetz itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Sidney 6 Nnw, NE (19 mi, snow) and Sidney Municipal Airport, NE (12 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.
