When Hamilton customers need you: the seasons

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Eureka, 12 miles away, put the July average high at 90°F and the January average low at 19°F. Rain adds up to about 40 inches a year, falling on about 57 days with a tenth of an inch or more. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 118 times a year.

A website that changes with the season helps: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, requested by email at no extra charge.
