When Kingston customers need you: the seasons

By the 1991-2020 normals of the Dassel weather station (11 miles from Kingston), July highs average 82°F and January lows average 2°F. About 29 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 158 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. Give seasonal work its own page, so the right page is there when the weather turns.
