A period of extremely frigid temperatures is forecast to impact Connecticut between the afternoon of Saturday, December 21, through Tuesday, December 24. Governor Lamont is activating the state's severe cold weather protocol during this period. To locate a shelter or warming center in Connecticut, call 2-1-1 or visit 211ct.org.

On Thursday, January 22, 2021, CAES IAPP placed three HOBO data loggers in Lake Beseck, Middlefield. They were pulled on March 5, 2021 as the water level began to rise. These data loggers tracked air temperature, sediment temperature, and sediment moisture during the winter drawdown of the lake. Below are graphs of the data. HOBO 3 had technical problems and did not record any data. The temperature is listed in degrees Celsius, zero is freezing.

*Note: When sediment temperature is below freezing, the accuracy of sediment moisture declines.
