KGHG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KGHG reported VFR in 77% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 257 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and December the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 12% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 24 had the best headwind 66% of the time, runway 06 34%, and winds were calm 29% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 23 days a year. From December to February KGHG was IFR or worse 14% of the time, against 13% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 28 days a year. 66% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in July when storms were in the air 1% of the time.
Gusts showed up in 30% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 61 kt. March is the windiest month (mean 7 kt) and August the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
