SUMMER

Late June through August is the production window statewide. Seacoast corridor moderate-to-high humidity. White Mountains corridor cooler. Foliage-season pre-season commercial preparation late August through early September.

FALL

September through early November is the cleanest production stretch statewide. Foliage-season tourism-corridor commercial concentration October. Pre-winter residential rush late October through early November. First hard frost in White Mountains mid-September, southern NH early-to-mid October.

WHAT GETS ON THE GLASS

What actually shows up on Nashua glass

Coastal salt-aerosol (Seacoast corridor)
YEAR-ROUND, INTENSIFYING NOVEMBER-APRIL

Coastal salt-aerosol deposition heavy on Seacoast corridor — operationally similar to coastal Maine pattern. Wet-rinse-first protocol on coastal-corridor residential. Light citric finish on the worst-affected stock. Storm-driven salt-aerosol events through nor-easter season intensify the residue concentration substantially.

Spring snow-melt and ice-dam meltwater residue
MID-JANUARY THROUGH APRIL

Late-winter and early-spring ice-melt residue carries chloride-residue, mineral residue, and organic residue composite. Ice-dam meltwater residue from roof-edge ice damming produces a distinctive composite residue on upper-pane and sash-perimeter glass. Percarbonate-citric ladder protocol required on the worst-affected stock.

Tree-pollen wave (oak, maple, birch, ash)
LATE APRIL THROUGH MAY

Deciduous tree-pollen wave dominant statewide. Lower density than Southern pine-pollen wave. Wet-rinse handling. No scraping, no dry-brushing.
