Hartford's climate zone, in plain terms
Lebanon-Claremont, NH-VT runs a January average near 18°F and climbs to about 69°F by July, a swing that adds up to roughly 7,868 heating degree days most winters, with 328 on the summer cooling side of the ledger.
That load is the actual argument for paying up for a better U-factor in Hartford, separate from anything a brochure claims.
Zone 6A's requirement is the floor; Hartford's specific load is what tells you whether beating that floor is worth the extra cost.

What FEMA's risk data says about Hartford
FEMA rates Windsor County's hurricane risk as Relatively Low and its wind risk as Relatively Low.
Neither rating changes a window's energy label, but both are exactly what impact-resistance and design-pressure ratings are built to answer for a Hartford home.
Ask specifically about design pressure and impact rating for Hartford, not just energy performance, if either risk rating comes back on the high side.

- Relatively Low
- Strong wind
