Spencerville weather and a seasonal business
By the 1991-2020 normals of the Lima Wwtp weather station (12 miles from Spencerville), July highs average 84°F and January lows average 19°F. About 41 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 12 days a year. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. Seasonal updates help: new hours, a seasonal service, a storm notice, sent by email and included in the monthly fee.
