Getting Cold
Hayaku:
Something special for winter? Planning on buying a really really expensive
Jacket that will keep me really really warm. But the problem is that it is really really expensive. Good investment? Yes, indeed. Last winter killed me, but this time I will not let nature win over me!

Oh and you can expect every kind of storm out in the world to hit CT. We get them all. Hurricanes, Thunder Storms, Wind Storms, Rain that last for weeks, Tornadoes, Blizzards, Nor'easter, Hail, Sleet, Freezing rain, and Thunder snow.
Also our weather cant be predicted. In the early 90s we had a blizzard in march. About 2 feet of snow fell. Next day it was in the low 70s..... We have a saying about our weather in New England. If you don't like the weather, wait about 5 mins.

Ah, you're from CT? My dad lives in Middlebury. (Dad's side of the family is originally from MA, so I have family scattered between FL and New England.) Every so often I hear stories from him about how he had to sit in traffic for hours because somebody's car slid on the icy roads and caused a big wreck. Yeah, you guys can keep the ice & snow up north! At least here we only have to deal with people who can't drive in torrential rains (or light showers).

Ah cool. I live in Shelton (near Bridgeport).You should see how people drive during the first snow storm. No one knows how to drive.

I lived in Vancouver for most of my life, and we RARELY got snow, so whenever it came people would just give up on driving and the city would shut down until someone cleared the snow away. So stupid.

The last time the state closed down because of snow was in in the 80s. We got like 5 feet of snow and too many cars were stuck on the highway.

That sounds like the UK. Half an inch of snow, and the entire country grinds to a halt. Literally.
