Seasonal Snowfall on Par With Snowier Cities

Local climatologist Ralph Fato put together a pie chart of the snow totals to date for these select locations. The results are interesting, considering the fact that Connecticut has received more or the same amount as these cities, which are known to be snowy.


Here are the 63-year average for these locations. Take note of Bridgeport's average and its comparison to  the others. Chicago: 41.5”, Bridgeport: 27.5”, Hartford: 47.8”, Minneapolis: 51.6”, and Denver: 58.6” 

Thanks, Ralph.
