Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Trevorton itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Danville, PA (12 mi, snow) and Sunbury, PA (8 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
