KIZG by the numbers
What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
KIZG reported VFR in 80% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 273 flyable days a year. February is the most reliable month and October the least, with IFR or worse 14% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft 7% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles 7%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 32 had the best headwind 66% of the time, runway 14 34%, and winds were calm 55% of hours. Winds most often blow from the west. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 49 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 9. From December to February KIZG was IFR or worse 12% of the time, against 10% from June to August.
Fog was reported on about 78 days a year, and fog or mist on 193. September and December are the foggiest months, with fog in 16% of hours, against 10% in July.
Gusts showed up in 11% of hours, typically 9 kt above the steady wind, and the strongest credible gust on record was 47 kt. April is the windiest month (mean 4 kt) and September the calmest.

Runway wind check
Estimated head/tailwind and crosswind for each runway end from the current reported wind.
Current wind is calm: calm wind is not a factor for runway selection, and with no wind there is no head/tail or crosswind component to compute. Live numbers return automatically once a report includes a wind direction.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Head / Tail | Crosswind |

“Current use” is what the facilitystates; wind components are arithmetic on the current METAR against TRUE headings; status reflects NOTAMs received through SWIM, the tower's TFDM record and the D-ATIS — a runway reads “Open” only with a complete NOTAM picture.
