More Snow Than the State Average

This reflects its position in the northeastern corner of the state where winter cold snaps are more frequent. Despite being drier than the state average, it still receives significant moisture throughout the year.

Measurable Snow in a Mild Climate

While summer and winter averages are not currently documented, the presence of 0.5 inches of annual snowfall indicates occasional freezing events. The 58.0 inches of precipitation is likely distributed throughout the year. Typical for the region, summers likely feature numerous days above 90°F.

Plan for Rain and Occasional Cold

Residents should prepare for heavy rain given the 58.0 inches of annual precipitation. Because the parish sees more snow than much of the state (0.5 inches), having basic winter supplies and insulated pipes is advisable.
