Photo credit: Willowpix From Good Housekeeping So much in our lives is unknown right now, but what to expect weather-wise this winter isn't, thanks to The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The agency shared its weather predictions for the upcoming season, so we know what's headed our way. Currently, the climate pattern La Nina has almost half of the continental United States in a drought. "With La Nina well established and expected to persist through the upcoming 2020 winter season, we anticipate the typical, cooler, wetter North, and warmer, drier South, as the most likely outcome of winter weather that the U. S. will experience this year, " Mike Halpert, deputy director of NOAA's Climate Prediction Center, said in the report. Drought is expected to intensify and expand across California, the southern and central plains, and the eastern Gulf Coast. Luckily, conditions in the northern Rockies, Northwest, New England, Alaska, and Hawaii should improve in the coming months.
Share this page / follow New England Waterfalls on Facebook! / THE FALLS Grab the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and head over to Kent Falls State Park, one of Connecticut's most popular state parks and one of New England's top places for a picnic. Here you will find 250 feet of cascades and plunges and one of the finest, well-maintained public parks in the region. A trip to Kent Falls is one way to view just about every different classification of waterfall. There are plunges, horsetails, punchbowls, blocks, and fans. Many of the falls are also very photogenic. The trail to the middle and upper falls is steep, but manageable. The lower falls alone are worth a trip, but if you are able to, make sure to climb up the trail to see the rest of the variety this series of waterfalls has to offer. Schedule a few hours when you visit this park as it also offers a small covered bridge, large grassy fields, and plenty of picnic tables and fire-pits. TRAIL INFORMATION Trail information and directions for this particular waterfall can be found in the latest edition of the guidebook: New England Waterfalls.
Diane F Tomball, TX 2 contributions Amazing! We were welcomed in the cottage store by Tess with smiles and a cheery disposition! Tess is knowledgeable about all the raptors and once outside in the sanctuary there are a few volunteers who are also very friendly and knowledgeable! Being courtious and quiet are very important due to the injuries that these birds have sustained. They have an amazing assortment of raptors and a bobcat. The volunteers take them out to let visitors see them up close and the volunteer answers all questions. I would recommend this attraction to everyone. It is free but they need donations since it is non for profit. Awesome gift shop as well!!! 5 STARS!!!! Written July 31, 2012 This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Just a quick stop Jul 2012 • Friends Lady at the desk was pleasant. Interesting place, but we were at the park for a different purpose and didn't spend the time to look around. We noted that coffee, cocoa, packaged snacks were for sale, which was good to know for visits in cooler weather.
