Millbrook weather and a seasonal business
Millbrook weather, in normals: July highs around 84°F, January lows around 15°F, measured at Chicago Aurora Municipal Airport, 12 miles away (1991-2020). About 34 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. About 16 days a year hit 90°F or more. Cold winters bring heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. Give seasonal work its own page, so customers find them when they need them.
