Truckee Weather Statistics

For me, the Truckee Weather Statistics show that Truckee has fantastic weather, at least based on the Monthly averages. The Summer Weather is absolutely perfect in my opinion, and especially after living in the Sacramento, California area with it's blazing heat! In Truckee, it is never really too hot to get outside in summertime, and enjoy the Truckee Summer Activities, and I love that!

The record lows are definitely cold in Truckee, but the monthly low averages are not so bad in winter. When you live in snow country, you learn to dress for the weather. We had a pellet store in our Glenshire home, so in the winter, it was always toasty warm inside! The lowest the weather was during the time that I lived in Truckee was -13 degrees. See my Fall in Truckee page, for tips on how to prepare your house, yard, cars, and family for winter.

This was the Squaw Valley Parking Lot a little after sunrise on 05-16-11. The parking lot was solid ice. This was the day that the AMGEN Tour of California bike race Day 2 was supposed to leave Squaw Valley and end up in Sacramento, CA. Due to the snow and ice, the race start was moved to Nevada City, CA.
