Connecticut Appleman

My family is from Norfolk and I grew up there as well. My father was 8 in 1938. The flooding was the really big issue - he would tell us stories of him and his 6 brothers along with their mother wading through the flooded Blackberry river with his mother threatening them to an ounce of their lives that they had to hold hands as tight as possible to get through the water. I believe the hillsides were pretty denuded from the charcoal industry and farming - I don't believe '38 took huge stands of trees in Norfolk. I have seen photos from relatives earlier than 1938 that show the hillsides as pasture with sheep grazing on Haystack Mountain.

Giddy-up!

Truck ban on limited access highways in CT starting at 5 PM.

Litchfield Country got its Blizzard Warning.

Agreed. Since we are attached to Albany, I sometimes think we are afterthoughts when it comes to these things since most of there CWA is much further inland.

I feel so left out here in Litchfield County (j/k). The way I'm looking at it, if the wind performs close to what is predicted, +/- a couple of inches of snow will be immaterial. I'm on top of a hill where the wind screams so measuring the snow will be a guess at best.

I hope I'm wrong, but feels like we are on the slow rot to spring.

Down to 4 degrees here in New Hartford at 2:00 this afternoon.

I love it when the wind is cranking the snow around out there. Bring it!

The little bastards are going to be hiding under snow and make it just fine through this. I hate those thing!

As the crow flies, I live less than 2 miles away on top of a hill and it always amazes me what the differences are between here and there.

Good call on the wind for this the other day. Snow is really sailing out there.

I agree completely.
