Rain and snow in Mallory
Mallory gets 49 inches of rain and melted snow a year. July is the wettest month and November the driest. Rain or snow falls on about 141 days a year. Snow covers the ground about 13 days of the year.
About 194 frost-free days a year
In half of years the last 32° night comes by April 15 and the first one by October 27. That leaves about 194 frost-free days for gardens, longer than 68% of U.S. towns.
Heating and cooling a home in Mallory
Engineers use “degree days” to estimate how hard a furnace or air conditioner works. In Mallory, 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.
