I've been here for about 2 years BlueDuck. I find Hayden and Dalton Gardens is much more on top of the game than CDA. My wife and I moved up here about 2 years ago from Texas. I grew up in Northwest CT (yes its actually rural and the only red county in the state) so I have seen some winters. I just have to laugh when I hear on the news that theres 4-5 inches of snow on the ground and everyone is calling for a snow day. Growing up 4-5 inches of snow on the ground meant a 60 minute or 90 minute delay. I find the winters here mild compared to what I grew up with.
