Winters are long: the Nunn 7 Nne station averages 183 nights a year at or below 32°F and 93 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. Summers bring about 34 days a year at or above 90°F.^2,3 Annual precipitation is low, about 13 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants.
