“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 Park
Park gets 23 inches of rain and melted snow a year. January is the wettest month and July the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 96 days a year.
About 117 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by May 29 and the first one by September 25. That leaves about 117 frost-free days for gardens, shorter than 98% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Park
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Park, 98% of that work is heating and 2% 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.
Park and its neighbors

Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Park itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Snyderville, UT (4 mi, snow) and Park City, UT (1 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
