Regional context

No season owns Kenmore's rain: July reaches 3.8 inches across 16.8 days and February keeps 2.5 inches on 19.2, an even spread through Kenmore's year. That lines Kenmore up with places like Tonawanda, NY, Eggertsville, NY and Grandyle Village, NY, fed by overlapping storm tracks.

Kenmore's growing window opens around late-May, once Kenmore's overnight lows stop freezing — sow kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips. In Kenmore, warm-season transplants — tomatoes, peppers, basil — wait two weeks past Kenmore's frost date. Kenmore's window closes around early-October as overnight lows return below freezing. In Kenmore, low spots run 4-7°F colder than nearby slopes, nudging Kenmore's frost dates a week.
