Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Cordaville itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Milford, MA (8 mi, snow) and West Medway, MA (11 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
