The timing of the blizzard that wasn’t — not in western Connecticut, anyway — was perfect.
We enjoyed a lazy day yesterday. Today we headed outside. The air was brisk, but bearable. There was enough snow for sledding, but not enough to make life miserable.
It was a perfect January Sunday. If you didn’t enjoy today, you’re not a real Westporter.

Winslow Park was one of many hills packed with sledders, tobogganers and snowboarders. One girl was frightened by a big dog.: “:Honey, it’s their park,” her mother said. “We’re just guests.” (Photo/Dan Woog)

Someone clomped out this message in Gina Ryan’s yard. “I love you too!” she said.
