Snow, shade and lake damp in Coventry
Coventry's hills take heavy inland snow that stays for weeks, and ice at the eaves is an annual event on cold farmhouse attics and warm mid-century ones alike. The lake keeps its shoreline damp and mossy, and the village streets are shaded by old trees that fill gutters and valleys every fall. Open farm lots in North Coventry take wind across the fields. Long freeze and thaw through the winter works at the flashing on the old houses and at the joints of lake cottage additions.
