Those of us who live here know—Connecticut weather is a wild ride. One year you get a mild winter that feels almost polite, the next you’re getting a godforsaken, full-on seasonal beatdown. You can wake up to a 13-degree April morning and by lunch it’s 83 and sunny.

I’d say “thoughts and prayers,” but honestly, I’ve already spent most of my T’s and P’s begging people to stop doing people things. At this point, they’re falling flat.
