Independence climate
by the numbers
Independence's unique plumbing challenges
About 150 nights a year below freezing, when uninsulated crawlspace lines give out

First frost typically lands around October 13
Seasonal timing
Independence's median first frost lands around October 13, the same date it lands in Manchester to the east. River-bottom cold settles in fast once that date passes, and a home down near the water usually feels the first hard freeze before a home on higher ground across town does.
