The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 80°F around July 21, short of 90°F on every date, while 192 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 3°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 27, then returns to freezing around October 19, covering 192 dates in all.
Derived from the normal daily minimum. This is a different measure from the 50%-probability frost dates shown elsewhere on this page, which come from NOAA’s frost product.
Where the wet dates fall
The likeliest wet date is October 1, when 34% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is March 21 at 24%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 107 wet dates a year.
The widest day
May 9 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 27°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Crivitz High Falls Stands Nationally
Freezing is routine here by normals standards — the normal low reaches 32°F or colder on about 192 nights a year, more than most ranked stations.

Crivitz High Falls spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 34% of the annual total and December through February 14%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. Crivitz High Falls has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 53.4°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: June averages 3.9" and February 1.3". The three wettest months together take 35% of the year, against the 25% a perfectly flat distribution would give them.
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. "Spread across the year" means neither the June-August nor the December-February share reaches 35%; it describes an average year, not the variability of any single one.
How Crivitz High Falls's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 106 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 32.1" between them, or roughly 0.30 inches on a typical wet day. That sits in the middle band: neither the many-light-days pattern of the Pacific Northwest and the Great Lakes, nor the few-heavy-events pattern of the Gulf and the desert Southwest.
A wet day is one recording at least 0.01 inches. These are 1991-2020 normals: they describe an average year and say nothing about the heaviest single storm on record.
Winter brings real snow to Crivitz High Falls
Crivitz High Falls averages 58.3 inches of snowfall a year, with January the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 32 days that record measurable snow. That is depth accumulating on the ground, which is why it can exceed the annual precipitation figure: precipitation counts the liquid the snow melts down to, and fresh snow is mostly air.
- Annual snowfall: 58.3 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 32 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 18% of the year's precipitation.
NOAA 1991-2020 normals. The ten-to-one ratio is a convention, not a measurement: real ratios vary with temperature, so treat the share as an order of magnitude rather than an exact split.

Snow and freeze rhythm
When cold and snow define Crivitz High Falls
heating led · moderate · mid swing
Crivitz High Falls's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,876 annual heating degree days against 286 for cooling. Its 53.4°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Only about 119 days are frost-free in a normal year. That short interval is consistent with the cold-season signal, but the measure does not predict the exact first or last freeze in any one year.

Place identity: U.S. Census Bureau 2024 Gazetteer places. The conservative exact name-and-state crosswalk finds no Census place match, so PlainClimate treats this as a station-mapped location and does not claim it is a municipality. No exact Gazetteer row for Crivitz High Falls; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
