I've been trying to remember which storm it was, had to be I think in 01, based on where I lived and worked, but snow began around 9-10 in Fairfield where we were redoing a bank, and by noon, we were told to come back to the shop, but the Merritt and Rt 8 were completely gridlocked, took us 6 hours to get home, there was thunderanow as well and got about 20" in Waterbury...iirc, that winter was a good one too, just have a foggy memory for the few years around the turn of the millennium
