Weather in Maitland: plan the website around it

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Maryville, 16 miles away, put the July average high at 87°F and the January average low at 14°F. About 38 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 138 times a year. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, landscaping and outdoor work the rest of the year. A website that changes with the season help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
