About 212 frost-free days a year

Heating and cooling a home in Tryon
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Tryon, 65% of that work is heating and 35% is cooling.
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.
