“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 Lake Point
Lake Point gets 14 inches of rain and melted snow a year. April is the wettest month and July the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 87 days a year. Snow covers the ground about 69 days of the year.
About 165 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by May 2 and the first one by October 16. That leaves about 165 frost-free days for gardens, shorter than 65% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Lake Point
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Lake Point, 84% of that work is heating and 16% is cooling, so the furnace matters far more than the air conditioner.
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 Lake Point itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Tooele, UT (11 mi) away. Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
