What zone 5A means for a Sterling Heights window
Macomb County's normal precipitation runs about 35.0 inches a year, with 32.2 inches of snow, which is a separate question from energy performance but still shapes which window details matter in Sterling Heights.
Moisture and glass performance are handled by different parts of a window's spec sheet, and a Sterling Heights buyer benefits from checking both instead of assuming one implies the other.
