November in Milton Freewater: afternoons around 52°F, nights around 36°F. One of the wettest months here: ask for a covered spot in the delivery note, or ship to the workplace.
Heat (July and August). Afternoons average 85°F or more, peaking near 90°F in July. Send chocolate, cheese and fresh fruit to a workplace or a front desk in these months; baked goods, nuts, coffee, tea and spa baskets can take a doorstep drop.
Freezing nights (January and December). The average low reaches 30°F in December. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Snow (January and December). About 7 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 (December and November). Around 2.1 and 1.9 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
