Reservoir woods and open fields: Easton's weather
Forest covers most of Easton, so roofs are shaded, north slopes stay damp and grow moss, valleys and gutters fill with leaves and limbs come down in every ice storm. The open farm fields and the reservoir edges give wind a run at exposed slopes. Winters are milder than inland Connecticut but colder than the shore, with ice at the eaves on the old farmhouses and on complex rooflines with many inside corners. The reservoirs keep the low ground foggy and damp, and spring freeze and thaw works at old flashing.
