Sand Projects in Dalton's Climate
Dalton sees roughly 74 days a year below freezing. Freeze and thaw cycles work on loose material all winter, which is the argument for the deeper first lift. The ground freezes but not deeply, so base layers do not need to be as thick as in colder climates.
About 1 inch of snow falls per year, so plowing damage to a loose sand surface is a minor concern. The ground around Dalton takes water in very slowly, so most rain runs across the surface. This soil behavior makes drainage and a deeper base more critical than in areas with faster infiltration.
