Winters are long: the Colorado Springs Muni Ap station averages 160 nights a year at or below 32°F and 68 at or below 20°F.^2,3 Long winters put freeze-thaw, ice dams and snow load at the center of roofing and masonry decisions. Summer heat is moderate: about 23 days a year reach 90°F.^2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
