The following is a list of Connecticut weather records observed at various stations across the state during the last 100 years. Connecticut is a state in the Northeast region of the United States .
The frost depth depends on the climatic conditions of an area, the heat transfer properties of the soil and adjacent materials, and on nearby heat sources. For example, snow cover and asphalt insulate the ground and homes can heat the ground (see also heat island). The line varies by latitude, it is deeper closer to the poles.
The land on either side of the Connecticut River Valley is less suitable for farmlands.

[ 2 ] Southern Rhode Island and southern Connecticut are the transition zone from continental climates to the north, to temperate climates (called subtropical in some climate classifications ...
The longer history of the proxy is then used to reconstruct temperature from earlier periods. Proxy records must be averaged in some fashion if a global or hemispheric record is desired. The "Composite Plus Scaling" (CPS) method is widely used for large-scale multiproxy reconstructions of hemispheric or global average temperatures.
