Central temperatures, such as rectal temperatures, are more accurate than peripheral temperatures. [30] Fever is generally agreed to be present if the elevated temperature [31] is caused by a raised set point and: Temperature in the anus (rectum/rectal) is at or over 37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F).
On average, temperatures below 0 °F (−17.8 °C) are infrequent, occurring 2.5 days per year, and there are 34.9 days where the maximum temperature remains below 32 °F (0.0 °C). [29] The average annual snowfall is 45.1 inches (115 cm) during the winter (in which severe snowstorms are rare).

In nearly all species of birds, an individual's sex is determined at fertilisation. However, one 2007 study claimed to demonstrate temperature-dependent sex determination among the Australian brushturkey, for which higher temperatures during incubation resulted in a higher female-to-male sex ratio.
