Novelty weather, in normals: July highs around 86°F, January lows around 18°F, measured at Steffenville, 17 miles away (1991-2020). About 39 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. About 30 days a year hit 90°F or more. Cold winters mean heating calls, snow plowing and winter car trouble, and the first freeze sends everyone searching at once. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.
