Got about 4" here in southern CT. so far.
It's funny to hear 4-5" closed dealerships and brought down power, but
understandable given certain states aren't equipped to deal with it.
This unfortunately is considered just a dusting for us.
It actually has more to do with the weather than anything down here, although the equipment and knowledge is short as well. Usually when it snows in Connecticut, it's already below freezing and stays below freezing. Here it's usually above freezing when it starts snowing, some of it melts when it hits the ground, then night falls, and it drops below freezing. Then melts again the next day, and then freezes the next night. It's that constant cycle that leaves us with perpetual sheets of black ice.
