The storm-we-aren’t-supposed to call Stella* came as predicted on March 14, 2017, and most West Hartford residents heeded warnings and stayed off the roads and worked, baked, (or played) at home. If you have photos to share, please send them to [email protected] to be added to this page. Be safe!
*NWS spokesperson Susan Buchanan stated, “The National Weather Service does not name winter storms because a winter storm’s impact can vary from one location to another, and storms can weaken and redevelop, making it difficult to define where one ends and another begins.” source:wikipedia.org
