11. The blizzard has arrived in Conn.

Fri Feb 8, 2013, 05:14 PM

Feb 2013

I'm in the South East about 6 miles West of Norwich and the wind is holding steady at 20 MPH with gusts to 35 MPH. Visibility has dropped big time. The snow is sticky and is adhering to my siding. I may have the lights go out tonight.

Will and others folks in the NE, stay safe tonight!
