What zone 6A means for a Shoreview window
Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, MN-WI runs a January average near 17°F and climbs to about 74°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 7,327 heating degree days most winters, with 790 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Shoreview, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 6A's requirement is the floor; Shoreview's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.
