When Lockridge customers need you: the seasons

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Mt Pleasant weather station (10 miles from Lockridge), July highs average 85°F and January lows average 12°F. About 38 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in June. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 20 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 130 days. Cold winters mean furnace repair, snow removal, roofing and auto service, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. A website that changes with the season help: winter hours, summer specials, storm-season notices, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
