Picture Connecticut: Ready To Hit The Mountain?

SOUTHINGTON, CT — We complete the 2024 Patch Picture Connecticut tour with an image appropriate for the season.

It's Mount Southington in all its nighttime glory.

The picture was taken on a frigid evening three days before Christmas. With a decent base already down, snowmakers were busy taking advantage of the temperatures to make as much as possible.
