Let’s be honest about Connecticut winters. It’s all a show! Sure, winter looks pretty on television, but so does a snow globe. While we reminisce about the summer months, here are nine reasons no one in their right mind wants to visit Connecticut in the winter.
- First of all, no cute clothes.

- Forget about getting any fresh produce or visiting a Farmers Market in the winter.

- The colors all disappear.

- You can’t get out on the water.

- You can’t have any fun.

- Cycling is just not a winter sport.

- It’s not as pretty.

- The waterfalls just disappear.

- Forget about hiking with your best friend.
