Is Groveland’s weather one of its best features?

Your answer becomes a post in Town Square.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Groveland itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Danville 3 Sw, IN (10 mi, snow) and Greencastle 1 W, IN (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. Today’s forecast: National Weather Service.
