North-Stonington is a small town located on the southeast coast of Connecticut. The population is approximately 5,000. The village is known for its' natural beauty and historic significance and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. It is considered to be a prime example of the early 19th-century mill villages that were very commonplace in southern New England. According to the town, the North Stonington Village Historic District contains 105 acres that is "an irregularly shaped district centered on the confluence of Assekonk Brook and the Shunock River, which were historic sources of waterpower." The district includes 72 buildings and several other contributing sites. North Stonington is just a short drive to the very scenic area of Connecticut known as "the Mystic Coast." Attractions include the beach town of Groton Long Point, the Essex Steam Train, the Florence Griswold Museum and the USS Nautilus & Submarine Force Museum. This is a place to enjoy fresh steamed lobster on the dock, or a mug of apple cider from America's oldest steam-powered cider mill. History and beauty abound in the village of North Stonington.

North Stonington Weather & Climate

Southeast Connecticut lies within the transition zone of humid subtropical and a humid continental. Although the seasonal extremes are slightly moderated by Long Island Sound, the primary weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. A large number of air-mass fronts pass over this region during a year: cold, dry air pouring down from sub arctic North America, warm, moist air streaming up from the Gulf of Mexico, and cool, damp air moving in from the North Atlantic. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year. Aside from infrequent tornadoes and hurricanes, coastal storms or "northeasters" are the most serious weather hazard in Connecticut. They generate very strong winds and heavy rain and produce the greatest snowstorms in the winter.
