The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 76°F around July 29, short of 90°F on every date, while 214 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 19°F near December 20.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into May 6, then returns to freezing around October 6, covering 214 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 December 4, when 49% of years recorded at least a hundredth of an inch. The driest is July 27 at 7%. Summed across the calendar, that is about 117 wet dates a year.
The widest day
August 31 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 33°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Where Odell Lake-east Stands Nationally
Winters bite deep and often: the normal nightly low dips to freezing or below on around 214 nights a year, placing this among the most frost-prone tenth of ranked stations.
Daily temperature swings run wider than most of the country, peaking near 33°F between the normal high and low.

Odell Lake-east's wet season runs through the cold months
December, January and February carry 49% of the year's precipitation here, while June through August contribute 6%. That is the cool-season-dominant pattern of the West Coast and the higher inland West, where storm tracks swing south in winter and summer turns dry; the thermometer meanwhile shows a 31.7°F seasonal spread.
- Wettest month
- December, 6.0"
- Driest month
- August, 0.5"
- Wettest three months
- December, January, February (49% of the year)
Shares are computed from this station's own 1991-2020 monthly precipitation normals. A cool-season label means the December-February share reaches 35%. Where snow falls, the monthly figures above report liquid-equivalent precipitation, so a wet winter month is not necessarily a rainy one.
How Odell Lake-east's precipitation splits across the calendar
About 116 days a year record measurable precipitation here, carrying 33.8" between them, or roughly 0.29 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 Odell Lake-east
Odell Lake-east averages 190.5 inches of snowfall a year, with December the snowiest month on the normals, spread across roughly 49 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: 190.5 inches of depth.
- Days recording measurable snow: about 49 a year.
- At a rough ten-to-one melt ratio, snow accounts for on the order of 56% 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.

Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Odell Lake-east's primary station: ODELL LAKE-EAST (USC00356252). 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 Odell Lake-east; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
