Winters are long: the Salt Lake City Intl Ap station averages 112 nights a year at or below 32°F and 32 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 run hot, with about 62 days a year at 90°F or more and 8 at 100°F.^2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies.

Annual precipitation is low, about 16 inches.^2,3 Low rainfall shifts the wear to UV and heat, which age finishes and sealants. Snowfall averages about 52 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 5,154 heating degree days against 1,420 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.
