| Water froze to the tap serving the horses in the barn and pasture and both hot and cold water and the heating was frozen in half of our house, as temperatures dipped in Guilford to around zero F (-18C) during day and night water froze inside and out if not given some help. Temps to our west and north were even colder, much colder, -35F around Minneapolis (-37C). Hot coffee thrown into the air was frozen before it reached the ground. The local Branford fire boat seen above was frozen into Stony Creek harbor. - Copyright: Colin Andrews, Jan 2014. |

sat in or on ice on all the local rivers and frozen sea. These Starlings huddled around the little warmth given off by the traffic lights.
