Regional context

Spry's precipitation spreads evenly: December peaks at 3.8 inches on 14.2 wet days, while February holds 2.7 inches over 13.0 — no month dominates Spry's rain calendar. That lines Spry up with places like Tyler Run, PA, Queens Gate, PA and Jacobus, PA, fed by overlapping storm tracks.

Once Spry passes mid-April, overnight freezes fade and kale, peas, spinach, and parsnips can be sown. Spry's heat-lovers — tomatoes, peppers, squash — hold off until Spry's frost risk clears, 10-14 days on. By mid-November, frost is back in Spry — protect or harvest anything tender. A creek-bottom lot in Spry can lag Spry's last frost 7-10 days behind a south slope.
