October in Cheney: afternoons around 59°F, nights around 29°F. A box that waits outside overnight can freeze, so jams, sauces and fresh fruit do better at an office or a front desk than on a porch.
Freezing nights (January, February, March, April, October, November and December). The average low reaches 21°F in December. Jams, sauces and fresh fruit should not spend a night outside; offices, senior residences and hospitals all receive indoors.
Wettest months (December and November). Around 2.6 and 2.4 inches of rain on average. Boxes are sealed, not waterproof: a covered porch or a workplace address keeps the packaging presentable.
On freezing nights a shipped box waits outside; flowers do not. The same-day flowers on this page are carried in by a local florist and handed over.
