“Wet days” have at least 0.01" of rain or melted snow. “Snow on ground” counts days with 1" or more. The 30-year range is the coldest and warmest that month’s average temperature got between 1991 and 2020.
Rain and snow in Table Rock
Table Rock gets 33 inches of rain and melted snow a year. May is the wettest month and January the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 88 days a year. Snow covers the ground about 31 days of the year.
About 172 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 23 and the first one by October 13. That leaves about 172 frost-free days for gardens, shorter than 58% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Table Rock
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Table Rock, 84% of that work is heating and 16% 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.
How Table Rock compares

How much a month can swing

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Table Rock itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Table Rock 4n, NE (4 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
