The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into June 13, then returns to freezing around September 9, covering 279 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
August 7 carries the biggest normal gap between afternoon and dawn, 44°F between the normal high and the normal low.

Data-derived climate profile
How Sagehen Creek's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Sagehen Creek's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 8,644 annual heating degree days against 8 for cooling. Its 31.9°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
A frost-free growing-season length is not available for Sagehen Creek. That missing field is kept separate from the observed temperature and precipitation record rather than filled from a regional estimate.
July and December mark the typical warm and cold ends of the calendar in Sagehen Creek's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 31.9°F. The annual average is 41°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Sagehen Creek'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 Sagehen Creek'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 Sagehen Creek, 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 Sagehen Creek's primary station: SAGEHEN CREEK (USC00047641). 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 Sagehen Creek; 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 Sagehen Creek 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.
