Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Grazierville itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Tyrone, PA (3 mi, snow) and Altoona 3 W, PA (15 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
