More Than a Half-Foot of Snow Fell on This Date in 2004

Just a little more than a half-foot of snow fell on this date, Sunday, January 18, 2004. Officially, Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford recorded 6.5" of snow. I remember shoveling the snow before watching the New England Patriots defeat the Indianapolis Colts, 24-14, in the American Football Conference championship game in Foxboro, Massachusetts, that afternoon.

Here is the video of that storm taken in Norwalk.
