About Crawford County Weather
Defined by lake-effect weather
Crawford County averages 47.9°F annually, placing it among the cooler regions in the United States. Its proximity to Lake Erie dictates a humid continental climate with intense winter activity.
Colder than most of Pennsylvania
At 47.9°F, Crawford sits two degrees below the state average of 49.9°F. It is characterized by much higher snowfall totals than the central and eastern parts of the state.
The snow leader of the region
Crawford’s 81.5 inches of snow dwarfs the 63.0 inches seen in Clearfield and the 59.4 inches in Elk. While temperatures are similar to Clearfield, the lake-effect moisture creates a much harsher winter environment.
Extreme snow and low heat
Winters are dominated by 81.5 inches of snowfall and a 27.0°F average. Summers are very mild, with only 3 days per year reaching 90°F, the lowest heat frequency in the region.
Prioritize heavy winter equipment
Residents must own reliable snow removal tools and winter tires to navigate the frequent lake-effect storms. Low summer heat means air conditioning is a secondary concern for most households.
