Winters are long: the Evanston Burns Fld station averages 193 nights a year at or below 32°F and 97 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.

Hot days are uncommon: about 6 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 The climate is arid: annual precipitation is only about 10 inches.2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Heating dominates the year: about 8,428 heating degree days against 204 cooling degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
