Thornton's climate zone, in plain terms
Adams County's normal precipitation runs about 14.5 inches a year, with 44.8 inches of snow, which is a separate question from energy performance but still shapes which window details matter in Thornton.
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Thornton buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.
