Winters are long: the Cleveland station averages 111 nights a year at or below 32°F and 38 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 12 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Rainfall is substantial: about 41 inches a year, 7 days of it an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one. Snowfall averages about 64 inches a year.2,3 Real snowfall means ice-and-water membrane, attic ventilation and roof load are standard parts of a roofing scope.

Heating dominates the year: about 5,516 heating degree days against 947 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. Avon Lake is about 1 miles from the Great Lakes shoreline (fresh water).4,5 Lake-effect weather adds wind-driven rain and snow to the exterior details that matter.

Avon Lake sits in IECC climate zone 5A (Cold).6 Building permits in Avon Lake are normally issued by the city building department.7,8
