February 8, 2011: Residents Show Opposition to Dog Pound Relocation, a Windsor Resident's Evacuation from Egypt, and Snow Days Take a Toll

1. The snow has returned. There is a 90-percent chance of precipitation before 3 p.m. The high for the day is in the mid-20's, but high gusts of wind, as high as 34 mph, will blow throughout the day. Temperatures will drop into the single digits tonight, with a wind chill factor of -2, according to National Weather Service reports.

2. Last night at the Town Council meeting, residents showed up to voice their concerns over a proposal to move or cut back Windsor's dog pound space. Residents also showed their support for over $300,000 in renovations to the Senior Center. Here is a recap.

3. Yesterday, we ran part one of Windsor-native Christopher Roman's experience in Egypt during the revolution. Today, we will share the story of his evacuation and the complications that arose. Visit Windsor Patch this afternoon for the second installment of his story.

4. The excess of snow days for Windsor students have begun to take a toll. Originally scheduled as a half-day, Windsor Public Schools will have a full day of classes to make up for time lost in the classroom.

5. On this day in history, 1978, New England began to dig out after a Nor'easter that dumped 55 inches of snow in 72 hours.
