What was Connecticut climate and geography?

Answer 1

Depending on where in Connecticut you are, and on your particular micro-climate, Connecticut ranges from a 5B to a 7A USDA Hardiness Zones.

The southern coast is warmest, at 7A. The northwest and northeast hills are coldest as a zone 5B. The rest of the state is rated as a 6B.

Answer 2

Connecticut has a humid continental climate (more of a humid subtropical climate on the coast) with relatively cold winters and pretty warm and humid summers. Average snowfall is about 25 - 30 inches on the coast and 40-50 well inland and in the hills. Precipitation annually is about 45-50 inches.
