Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Vineland itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Onamia Rs, MN (9 mi, snow) and Isle 12n, MN (17 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
