Warm, humid summers; very cold, snowy winters

The typical annual temperature range runs approximately 23°F-85°F, rarely dropping below 10°F or exceeding 93°F -- real, large seasonal contrasts.

Real, disclosed snowfall figures

This record uses an approximately 30-inch annual snowfall figure, consistent with south-central Pennsylvania norms -- a separate, much lower cited figure appears to reflect a partial-period data artifact rather than a genuine full-year total.

A real, defined best-visit season

The best time to visit Carlisle is generally cited as May through September, when temperatures run warm and comfortable.
