Changing Clocks Usher in Warmer Weather

Somewhere buried by snow piles sits green grass waiting to grow, trees bursting to bud and flowers fighting for freedom.

It has been a while, but the clocks "spring ahead" this weekend, we'll also finally see our first glimpse of warmer weather. The NBC Connecticut Fist Alert Weather App is showing a string of sunny skies ahead.

“I love it, I absolutely love it,” said Cynthia Thompson, of New Britain.

Today at Walnut Hill Park, walkers and runners agreed it's a well-deserved way to wind down a winter that has felt like a work-week Wednesday that would never end.

“It has been terrible,” said Mark Przytuski.

Przytuski said losing an hour of sleep Sunday is a sacrifice that must be made to also lose some layers.

“Come the weekend hopefully I won’t have to have the scarf and the hate and I won’t need a hood,” Przytuski said.

The thaw will take some time, but at Walnut Hill, they taking the latest forecast and running with it.
