The year, day by day
Summer here tops out rather than builds: the warmest normal high is 83°F around August 7, short of 90°F on every date, while 111 dates carry a normal low at or below freezing, the coldest 23°F near January 16.
The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into March 10, then returns to freezing around November 21, covering 111 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.
The widest day
April 13 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 26°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Pickett State Park's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Pickett State Park's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 4,675 annual heating degree days against 816 for cooling. Its 38.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Pickett State Park's frost-free season lasts about 177 days, a middle-length window whose endpoints matter more than the annual average. It describes freeze probability, not year-specific planting conditions.
July and January mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Pickett State Park's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 38.9°F. The annual average is 54°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Pickett State Park's annual precipitation total is unavailable. Monthly source values remain visible where NOAA provides them, and no annual amount is reconstructed from incomplete data.
These labels group NOAA 1991-2020 normals from Pickett State Park's primary station, so the winter figures are a thirty-year average and not a floor: a single hard season can run well below them. Treat each band as a descriptive range for Pickett State Park, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.

Data Sources
Data source: NOAA U.S. Climate Normals v1.0.1 (1991-2020). All figures on this page are from Pickett State Park's primary station: PICKETT SP (USC00407141). 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 Pickett State Park; facility counts that depend on place identity are therefore an upper bound, not a municipal census.
On this page every temperature, precipitation, and derived score for Pickett State Park comes from its primary NOAA station record. No figure on this page is typed in by an editor - each value is rendered from NOAA 1991-2020 U.S. Climate Normals.
