What spring life looks like in Stafford
With 4.9 freeze–thaw cycles a year, thermal fatigue is not the local enemy — springs in Stafford generally deliver their rated cycles.

half the homes in Stafford were standing by 1992; homes of that vintage on original springs are the ones worth checking with the balance test before winter rather than after a failure.
