The orange leaves were still on the trees at the State Lakes when Winter fell into Fall over the weekend, with 11” of snow reported around Bridgeport on Monday morning. Snow shovels found their way out of sheds and into the hands of the able-bodied, while children were seen sledding in the streets and throwing snow at the local parks. With the first late start of the school season on Monday out of the way, sunny skies are expected the rest of the week, with no snow forecasted until at least after Halloween.

The City of Bridgeport held its annual Fall Clean Up Day on Saturday, October 17, with Waste Connections opening up their gates to allow for residents to dispose of big items or large loads that wouldn’t fit in the alley dumpsters. Quite a few people took advantage of the nice weather and had pickup trucks full of trash to dump. Brock Frohling, with the help of Waste Connection workers, can be seen disposing of several large mattresses from the back of his vehicle. SARAH STRAWN
