Open fields west, forested hills east: Somers weather
Somers is split by its land. The western half is open farmland where wind crosses roofs unbroken and summer thunderstorms bring gusts and hail across the fields. The eastern half rises into forested hills that trade wind for shade, moss, debris and limb damage in ice storms. Both halves get heavy snow and long cold, so ice at the eaves is routine on warm-attic houses. The valley bottoms hold fog, and spring freeze and thaw works at farmhouse flashing.
