CLIMATE 
The climatic conditions in Waupaca County are fairy repre¬ 
sentative of a considerable area in the central part of Wiscon¬ 
sin. While the topographic features of the county are not uni¬ 
form for all sections, there is probably not a great variation in 
liability to frost in various parts of the county except over the 
marsh areas. As none of the large marshy tracts have been 
reclaimed, the question of liability of frosts on these marshes 
at times when the frost would not affect the upland is not of 
great importance at the present time. As the marsh areas are 
reclaimed here, it will doubtless be found to be true in this 
region, as in other sections of the state, that frost in the marsh 
land will occur about the same time as frost in the upland will 
occur at a point one hundred miles farther north. 
The table given below contains climatic data gathered by the 
Weather Bureau Station located at Waupaca. This station has 
an elevation of about 870 feet above sea level.
