Connecticut has a subtropical climate which is fairly temperate due to its long coastline. Connecticut’s winters are considered to be cold and they receive about 25-100 inches of snow. And in the summer, the state is subject to around 30 thunderstorms a year, some of which can be fairly severe. Because of this upkeep of gutters and roofing is essential. The state is also prone to occasional flooding in several areas, so it is important to take proper precautions to insure personal and property safety.
