What zone 3A means for a Benton window
Saline County's normal precipitation runs about 53.4 inches a year, with 1.3 inches of snow, which is a separate question from energy performance but still shapes which window details matter in Benton.
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Benton buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.
