37/38 going back and forth down here in the Naugatuck Valley. 40s all around just tossing it out there’s not expecting much but was expecting it to be warmer by now here (Ansonia)
Feb 2013 watching the snow pour or dump was insanity. Plows broke, plows stranded we were down to 1-2 working city plows. Emergencies were called off unless it was extreme and those were transported by a police hummer one of the few vehicles able to get though.took a week to cleanup roads
I wouldn’t call it hype as much as preparing people for the worst. People need flashy words for things to settle in. Nor’easters can be pretty bad as a hurricane. Otherwise you have people traveling and being stuck on highways for 14 hours like what happened in the case of the holiday storm.
