South Windsor 06074

Weekend of Mar 6 - Mar 8, 2026

WEEKEND SNAPSHOT

Cold start with rain/ice mix Friday (High 39°F), warming to a pleasant Sunday (High 56°F).

Friday morning commuters should watch for icy patches on Sullivan Avenue and Route 5 due to the overnight freezing rain mix.

⚡ If You Only Do One Thing

Hartford Wolf Pack vs. Bridgeport Islanders

Friday, Mar 6, 7:00 PM

"Perfect indoor escape from Friday's messy wintry mix. It’s high-energy, family-friendly, and located in the newly renamed PeoplesBank Arena (formerly XL Center)."

PRO TIP: Park at the Morgan Street Garage for $10–$15; it’s a 5-minute covered walk and much easier to exit than the lots directly adjacent to the arena.
