River flats, tobacco fields and Windsor roofs
Windsor lies on the river plain and the flat land along the Farmington's mouth, so cold air pools in winter and ice forms at the eaves early. The open corridor of former tobacco fields toward Bradley Airport gives wind a clear path across the subdivision roofs, and tabs lift on the exposed slopes. Snow stays on the low-pitch capes and ranches. The old village streets and Wilson have mature trees that shade roofs and fill gutters, while the field subdivisions are open and sun-baked, which ages their south slopes faster.
