It's been sort of a dreary summer in Connecticut, and the fall foliage isn't really the best this year. Still, the view from Spring Hill in Storrs isn't too shabby.
A uniform silver haze in the sky the other day gave rise to some unusual light effects: note the ring around the sun, with bright spots at 9:00, 12:00 (and presumably 3:00 behind the low clouds). Was this a portent of bad weather?
Yes, as a matter of fact, it was a portent of bad weather. Wet snow flurries fell yesterday afternoon through this morning, on and off. Snow before the leaves fall is pretty rare, and it was fortunate that it wasn't cold or heavy enough for much accumulation: heavy snow sticking on the leaves of deciduous trees can cause serious damage. There weren't any downed branches or power outages that I noticed, and the snow is gone now.

WOW...this snow business is amazing to me...stuck down here in the pit of south Florida with heat, heat, and more heat! We are supposed to get a cold front tomorrow night and they are expecting a 7 degree drop....so from 95, down to a very chilly 88 degrees! I sure wish some of your snow would come down here!!! ;0
I think that I deal better with cold weather than with hot. It's sunny and the snow is gone for now, but come January, you are welcome to drive north and fill up your trunk.
