Houghton's weather is affected by its location near Lake Superior. The lake's warmth keeps air pressure relatively high in winter, making winters milder. In summer, the lake cools air, causing lower pressure and more rainfall.
Houghton's geography, surrounded by hills and near a large lake, traps cold air in winter, causing lake-effect snow. This leads to low air pressure and cold temperatures.
In winter, low pressure brings cold air and heavy snowfall. Spring brings rising pressure, leading to clearer skies. Summer's higher pressure means more stable weather, with occasional storms. Autumn's falling pressure brings cooler temperatures and rain.
