Temperatures and rainfall come from NOAA’s gridded climate normals for Lake Cassidy itself (about a 3-mile square). Snow, frost dates and day counts come from NOAA’s weather station at Monroe, WA (16 mi, snow) and Everett, WA (8 mi, frost, heat and degree days). Normals are 30-year averages, not a forecast.
