When to ship what to Alden

Baskets travel by parcel and can wait on a step for an afternoon, so the month decides the contents. Thirty-year averages for Alden, month by month, with the ones that matter marked.

  1. Jan 32°15° Freezing
  2. Feb 33°15° Freezing
  3. Mar 42°22° Freezing
  4. Apr 55°33° Snow
  5. May 67°44°
  6. Jun 75°54° Wettest
  7. Jul 79°58°

  9. Sep now 72°50°
  10. Oct 60°40° Wettest
  11. Nov 47°31° Freezing
  12. Dec 37°22° Freezing

September in Alden: afternoons around 72°F, nights around 50°F. Nothing in the forecast averages argues against a doorstep delivery; any basket in the catalog travels well.

Freezing nights (January, February, March, November and December). The average low reaches 15°F in February. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.

Snow (January, February, March, April, November and December). About 109 inches a year on average. Allow one extra business day when the date matters: a birthday box that ships two days out still lands on time if it leaves three days out.

Wettest months (October and June). Around 4.2 and 4.2 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.

Weather only matters for the shipped box. The same-day flowers on this page are carried in by a local florist and handed over, whatever the month.

Normals: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information, 1991 to 2020, Wales station, 11.5 miles from Alden. Heat: average high 85°F or more. Freezing: average low 32°F or less. Snow: 2 inches or more in the month. Wettest: the two months with the most rain.
