KODX by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KODX reported VFR in 83% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 283 flyable days a year. June is the most reliable month and March the least, with IFR or worse 12% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 6% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 4%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 17 had the best headwind 27% of the time, runway 31 27%, and winds were calm 17% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 36 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 5. From December to February KODX was IFR or worse 11% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 46 days a year. 63% of storm hours fall in June, July and August, peaking in June when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Field elevation is 2,070 ft, but on a median summer afternoon the air performs like 4,081 ft, 2,011 ft higher. Plan for a longer takeoff roll and a weaker climb from June to August.
Gusts showed up in 19% of hours, typically 8 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 124 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 10 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.

“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.
