Snowfall adds up to around 68 inches in a typical year, and total precipitation is about 42 inches.

Those numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide to the usual pattern and not a forecast for any single year. What they tell us is useful all the same. A long freeze pushes rodents and overwintering insects toward buildings, while a wet October leaves damp leaf litter against foundations and soggy ground that helps carpenter ants and moisture-loving pests settle in.

A sensible Allenstown routine starts in spring, when we look at the exterior and treat entry points as ants wake up. Summer is the time to drain standing water and trim shrubs back from siding. In early fall, seal gaps around pipes and vents before the first hard frost. In winter, listen for scratching in walls and check the basement, because a small rodent problem is easier to stop in December than in March.
