Winters are long: the La Crosse Muni Ap station averages 141 nights a year at or below 32°F and 74 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 18 days a year reach 90°F.2,3 Annual precipitation is about 35 inches, with 8 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3
Snowfall averages about 46 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 6,788 heating degree days against 942 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.
