Good early Saturday morning…
These are some of the warning headlines from the NWS this morning. This will be by far the colds temps we have seen in the last 5-10 years. Heed the warnings… the only good thing is it only lasts for 36 hours and then we will see this polar air exit stage right.
Lots of model agreement and disagreement for the Early week storm. Hopefully by late tonight or early tomorrow we should have a better idea of what will happen.
Stay warm!! Tom and Kevin

#Fairfield CT–A tribute to Frank Godwin has been set up on the bench that Frank had frequented over the years at the corner of Reef and Old Post Road. Multiple Facebook posts of friends said they would often buy him something to eat at 7-11, Bagel Emporium or McDonald’s. The bench was lined with flowers and 7-11 coffee cups. Frank, aged 87 was killed when he was hit by a car at the intersection of Myrtle and Prospect Street in Bridgeport on February 6. The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police.
Many friends and acquaintances commented “He Knew anything and everything about the townies in Fairfield”, “as a bus driver we all miss him we knew what area he would be at what time”. Many would say he would cheer them up when they were down.
Rest in peace Frank, you had a positive impact on so many!
