The freezing stretch
The normal low stays at or below 32°F into February 15, then returns to freezing around December 17, covering 61 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.

Data-derived climate profile
How Waverly's climate pattern fits together
heating led · mid swing
Waverly's energy balance leans toward cold weather: 3,729 annual heating degree days against 1,544 for cooling. Its 41.6°F seasonal range still makes the monthly rows more useful than the annual average alone.
Waverly's frost-free season lasts about 216 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 Waverly's middle-range seasonal profile. The measured spread is 41.6°F. The annual average is 59°F. Neither the annual mean nor one extreme month represents the full calendar on its own.
A moisture-range label is withheld because Waverly'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 Waverly'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 Waverly, not an official NOAA class or a year-ahead forecast.
