“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 Spearman
Spearman gets 21 inches of rain and melted snow a year. June is the wettest month and February the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 60 days a year.
About 209 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 8 and the first one by November 4. That leaves about 209 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 78% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Spearman
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Spearman, 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.

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Spearman itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Gruver, TX (13 mi, snow) and Spearman, TX (1 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
