Lows drop to freezing on about 76 nights a year. Cold is when a weak battery finally fails, because a cold engine takes more power to turn over.

About 44 inches of rain fall in a year. Worn tires lose grip on wet roads well before they look bald, and streaky wipers are a cheap fix worth doing before the wet season, not during it.
