Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Mountain View itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Deming, NM (2 mi, snow) and Deming Municipal Airport, NM (3 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.
