🌡 The weather here, in general
Rochester runs the full range. The warmest stretch, around July, averages a high near 80°F, while January nights average 21°F — a 59-degree spread, so a coat that works in January is useless by July and the other way round.
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 47 inches falls in an average year, mostly across January, February, March, November and December. With 108 nights a year at or below freezing, ice on the roads is a longer season than snow on the ground.
Rainfall averages about 42 inches a year, wettest in October and driest in March.
