Deep shade and inland winters on Woodbridge rooflines
Woodbridge's canopy shades most roofs all day, keeps north slopes damp, grows moss and algae on shingles and fills valleys and gutters every fall, with limbs down in ice storms. The town is inland enough for real winters, and complex rooflines with many inside corners build ice behind dormers and in valleys after a cold snap. The reservoirs keep the low ground damp, and the few open lots and ridge lines take wind across exposed slopes. Spring freeze and thaw works at old chimney flashing near the green.
