episode_narrativeAn intense east coast low pressure system moved northeast from eastern Georgia, passing along the coast of the Carolinas and then close to 40 degrees North and 70 degrees West. This storm was one of the most significant winter storms to hit southern New England in the past 20 years and was named the "Blizzard of '96" from the Middle Atlantic states to southern New England. However, by National Weather Service definition, no actual blizzard conditions occurred in the state. Snowfall across the north and northeast portions of the state ranged from 15 to 23 inches. In Hartford County, Bradley International Airport recorded 18.2 inches. New Britain had 18 inches and Wethersfield, 15.3 inches. In Tolland County, there was 22.5 inches in Mansfield and in Windham County, 22.5 inches at Putnam. This storm disrupted transportation systems and closed schools and businesses. A barn roof collapsed in Simsbury within a week or so following this very heavy snowfall.
