With music by Bob Dylan, of course! Bob Dylan: "Things Have Changed" WINTER 2016-2017 WEATHER LOG Date Accumulation Notes Picture 10/27/2016 .2 Today marked the first snow of the season. Light snow began falling around mid morning and lasted until about 12:30 PM. A slight accumulation built up on grassy surfaces and trees. The snow eventually changed to rain. 11/21/16 tace A cold front blew through the state on Saturday evening, and with it some white stuff that unfortunately did not accumulate or fall much in southern CT (nw hills got the jackpot).
