Rain and snow in East Enterprise
East Enterprise gets 48 inches of rain and melted snow a year. May is the wettest month and February the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 120 days a year.
About 194 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 17 and the first one by October 29. That leaves about 194 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 68% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in East Enterprise
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In East Enterprise, 80% of that work is heating and 20% 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 East Enterprise itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Warsaw Markland Dam, KY (7 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
