Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Victoria itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Mt Pleasant 4sw, MS (4 mi, snow) and Holly Springs 4 N, MS (10 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.
