Stamford is located in the affluent region of Fairfield County, southwest Connecticut. As of the 2010 census, the population was 122,643, which makes it the fourth largest city in Connecticut. The city of Stamford is a coastal community about 25 miles from New York City. Its motto is "The City That Works!" and it certainly is that with many companies and corporations located here. Downtown Stamford is a vibrant mix of shops, restaurants, art galleries and services. In addition, many special events are held in downtown Stamford. Attractions include Cummings Park, a public beach/park that dates to 1906. An interesting note: Cummings Park was once called Halloween Park due to then Mayor Home Cummings casting the deciding vote to create the park on Halloween night. Cove Island Park is an 83-acre offers beaches, picnicking, a small wildlife sanctuary and scenic bluffs. The SoundWaters Community Center for Environmental Education is at the northeast corner of the park. Scalzi Park includes a playground, a skate park, ball fields, volleyball court, tennis courts, bocce courts and a baseball stadium. The city of Stamford also boasts a public ice skating rink and two municipal golf courses.

Stamford Weather & Climate

The Southwest Corner of Connecticut has a climate that 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 annual weather pattern flow is offshore, from the colder landmasses to the north and west. The adjacent waters result in the region being several degrees cooler in summer and slightly milder with less snowfall in winter than locations further away from the coast. This zone receives 41.7 inches of precipitation and 24.8 inches of snowfall in an average year. Thunderstorms occur on an average of 20 to 30 days per year, with the greatest frequency during the summer months and in the afternoon or evening.
