Winter Storm Benedict

Winter storm Benedict was a record breaker for the state hitting Bradley International Airport with about 24 inches of snow, breaking the 2006 record of around 21 inches.  As for me, I measured 15 inches on my deck in Avon, possibly 16 inches in the yard.  I never thought I'd feel left out of the snowfall jackpot with 15 inches of snow.
