How Often Ithaca Has Cold Temperatures. On the coldest winter nights at Ithaca, the thermometer drops to 0 Â°F (-18 Â°C) or even lower. On average, nine nights a year, scattered from December to March, get that cold. Ithaca also averages 49 days a year when the daytime temperature stays below freezing.
The Noontime Altitude of the Sun. The combined effect of the Earth's annual motion around the Sun and the tilt of its axis cause the seasons and the variations in the altitude of the Sun at local noon. At Ithaca, the Sun is higher in the sky at noon in the summer than in the winter. This also means that the rising and setting times of the Sun vary. At different locations on earth, the noontime altitude of the Sun will be quite different on any given day.
