🌡 The weather here, in general
Grand Rapids gets a real winter. February nights average 19°F, and July highs reach about 82°F — a 63-degree swing across the year. Cold that deep is its own hazard: exposed skin, car batteries and water pipes all have opinions about it.
It essentially never gets hot here: fewer than five days a year reach 90°F. Cold, not heat, is the season worth preparing for.
Snow is a real feature of the year: roughly 36 inches falls in an average year, mostly across January, February, March, November and December. With 120 nights a year at or below freezing, ice on the roads is a longer season than snow on the ground.
Rainfall averages about 40 inches a year, wettest in June and driest in January.
