Harmony receives roughly 44.6 inches of precipitation each year, with 78.8 inches typically falling as snow. The frost-free season averages 143 days, which directly shapes the planting calendar and growing potential for the area, with the last spring freeze near May 11 and the first fall freeze near October 1. For energy use, 8,160 heating degree days and 316 cooling degree days tell the story of how often furnaces and air conditioners run during a normal year.
On PlainClimate's composite comfort index, Harmony scores 44/100 (Moderate), a blended measure that weighs temperature mildness, precipitation moderation, and extreme-weather frequency against one another. Use the monthly tables above to plan around specific windows, shoulder seasons for mild highs and lows, peak summer for July-driven heat, or deep winter for January-driven cold. All figures here are thirty-year averages: any single year may run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal, so treat them as planning guidance rather than forecasts.
