The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 81°F around July 16, short of 90°F on every date, while 146 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 15°F near January 26.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into April 6, then returns to freezing around November 13, covering 146 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 May 10, when 44% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is September 8 at 33%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 140 wet dates a year.
The widest day
April 26 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 22°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where E Brimfield Lake Stands Nationally
Days and nights track unusually close together; the widest normal swing, about 22°F, is narrower than most stations record.

E Brimfield Lake spreads its precipitation across the year
Neither half of the year dominates here: June through August take 25% of the annual total and December through February 23%, with neither reaching the 35% that would mark a distinct wet season. E Brimfield Lake has no dry season to plan around, though it does carry a wide 45.9°F gap between its warmest and coldest month.
The gap between the wettest and driest month still matters: October averages 4.8" and February 3.2". The three wettest months together take 28% 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 E Brimfield Lake's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 139 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 48.6" between them, or roughly 0.35 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 E Brimfield Lake
E Brimfield Lake averages 63.5 inches of snowfall a year, with February the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 25 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: 63.5 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 25 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 13% 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 E Brimfield Lake
heating led · wet · mid swing
E Brimfield Lake's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 6,566 annual heating degree days against 523 for cooling. Its 45.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
E Brimfield Lake's frost-free season lasts about 170 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from E Brimfield Lake's primary station: E BRIMFIELD LAKE (USC00192107). For informational purposes only.
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 E Brimfield Lake; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
