What were you doing on this day back in 2011? Either shoveling,or trying to stay warm in a dark, cold, house with no power? 12 yrs ago,more than 800,000 people lost power thanks to this major Oct. storm.What memories do you have from the storm? #Snowtober #OctoberSnowstorm #NBCCT

It's 518PM, it's still light out and this week, our high begins to climb from our lowest Avg. high of 35. We climb to 36. Eventually getting to mid 80s for an average high in July/August. But, I don't want to get ahead of myself here. Baby steps.
