What drying runs into in La Crosse
Serving La Crosse and the surrounding area, including University East, Losey East, Crowley South of Campbell, Losey Court, College Park, Indian Hill, Country Club Court, Grandview-Emerson.
Local housing stock
The typical La Crosse house dates to 1965, with about three quarters of the stock (76.4 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly mid 1960s work. Around a median of 1965 with more than three quarters of the stock older, the neighborhoods extend up into the coulees, so a good many houses sit in narrow valleys with steep ground rising on both sides.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, La Crosse gets 37.47 inches a year with June heaviest at 5.29, and the drying season runs from a 16-degree January to a 70.7-degree July; both figures recorded at LA CROSSE WFO, 1.7 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.29 inches of a 37-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain lands in early summer; a coulee concentrates that from a wide upland into a narrow valley floor.
How water losses tend to end in La Crosse
- A narrow valley collecting from a wide catchment, so flow concentrates fast
- Steep sides with thin soil, so runoff arrives carrying material with it
- Houses on the valley floor, so the only flat ground is also the flood route
