Season
When it is recorded
In Geauga County
Not enough evidence
Recorded in two separate seasons, so one season would put its middle week in the gap. Based on 55 records in 8 of the 10 years from 2016 to 2025, above the minimum of 20 records from 5 different years.
Show over the bars
Records per week from 55 records in 8 of the 10 years from 2016 to 2025. Shows when people recorded it, not a season or how common it is.
