What zone 3B means for a Pinole window
Contra Costa County's normal precipitation runs about 24.4 inches a year, with 0.0 inches of snow, which is a separate question from energy performance but still shapes which window details matter in Pinole.
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Pinole buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.
