Crazy Weather in Trumbull CT and lower Fairfield county in 2008

Well the 2008 winter season started out with a bang - we had a hail storm that dropped hail the size of quarters. Quite honestly - I had never really seen anything so strange so early in the season. I think it was late October, early November. The sound of the pounding against the skylights was actually quite frightening and I kept hoping they were not going to be big or strong enough to crack the window. Many folks experienced damage to their cars. Here is a picture taken of that early hail storm in Trumbull CT 2008 of the hail left in my back yard.

As you can see - there was still a lot of green still on the ground.

We've had more snow/rain the beginning of this 2008 season than I can remember in a long time. It snows, then comes the rain and washes it all away. It's frigid, then in the 60's.

On January 7, we had an ice storm here in Trumbull CT and all of CT - it sure was pretty driving up the Merritt Parkway in the afternoon. In lower Fairfield county - it wasn't as bad as northern Connecticut. I just have always loved the beauty of an ice storm - the frozen trees makes for such great photos - hate driving in them but luckily they don't last long. The sun is shining brightly this morning Jan 8th and the meltdown has begun.
