Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 32 had the best headwind 29% of the time, runway 23 28%, and winds were calm 24% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 70 days a year. From December to February KRZN was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 5% from June to August.
