I hate living in Connecticut. The older I get, the less I can tolerate the cold, or afford to lose so many months every year to the gray skies and limited access to the great outdoors. It has snowed or some form of frozen precipitation every three days for awhile now, more on the way tonight.

The SL is in hibernation, and I have pretty much done all the little insignificant things I can regarding the car, that I had lined up for indoor busy work. About the only thing I can do is remind myself that first drive of Spring isn't TOO far off.

11 - Days, 0° or below
11.1 - "mean" temperature

and

53 - Days of measurable snow on the ground, consecutive.

We bailed out of CT and drove to DC yesterday ahead of the nastiest stuff but were greeted by a white-out inside the beltway. Only thing worse than a blizzard in CT is a powdering in DC. And only thing worse than spending the kids vacation Smithsonian hopping in this Arctic weather is the thought we almost drove all the way to Myrtle Beach to freeze instead. Alas, Spring will be here soon.

Snowed in today. We had a whole inch of snow and my employer let us out 1 hour early yesterday and shut down today.

See the attached pictures of the storms havoc and carnage.

With each passing storm, you guys in NW CT seem to get more snow than we do, even though we're only 60 minutes +/- away just across the NY border. We only got about 3" yesterday/last night.
I feel badly for all of you in CT and eastern MA (Boston:eek), but I have to say, I don't feel guilty.
