Precipitation occurrences average approximately one day of three for the year, with a somewhat higher frequency for the April May period, offsetting the lower frequency of August October. The more significant rains and heavier snowfalls are associated with easterly winds, especially northeasterly winds. The first snowfall of an inch or more is likely to come between the middle of November and the middle of December. The snow cover normally lasts from mid December until the last week of March, but bare ground is not rare in the winter, nor is a snowscape rare earlier or later in the season. Rain, sleet, or freezing rain may also occur.
Agriculture is neither intensive nor large scale in the vicinity of the station.
Potatoes and other frost resistant vegetables, hardy fruits such as apples, forage for the dairy industry, and maple sugar are the principal crops. Freezing temperatures have occurred as late as June and as early as August.
