The winter was generally warmer than normal from December through February with slightly below snowfall.  March turned cold and was almost the coldest of the four winter months.  The total snowfall for the winter was 60 inches.  There were two storms with significant snowfall.  Both storms on February 9 and March 14 had 15.5 inches of snow and sleet.  Thus half the seasonal snowfall occurred on  just 2 days.  These two storms made the snowfall exceed the prediction by about 20 inches and contributed to making a dent in the drought.

There was 8.5 inches of rainfall for the period February 1 to April 10.  This is the first time that a two month period had above normal rainfall since the start of the drought.  Thus there was a significant dent in the drought that was affecting Connecticut with the rivers are running somewhat high at the current time.
