Anyone from Connecticut?

[mthopper]

Is anyone around here from Connecticut? I'm moving to New Haven from Athens, GA of all places. I'm wondering if the winter is all that bad. I know it's New England, but CT is not one of the states that comes to mind when I think of driving snow (Ohio, Minnesota, Michigan, Buffalo) and blistering cold winds (Chicago, Boston). It seems like, during the worst of CT's winter, the temperatures are just a little lower than those during the worst of GA's winter (30's), just that it lasts a whole lot longer there: i.e. from December through March, whereas it's only really cold in GA for a few weeks in Jan and Feb (although in GA, even in Jan and Feb, it usually only drops into the freezing temps during the night and warms a bit--into the 40's--during the afternoons [although it gets windy as hell in late Jan).
