The week in photos – February 3, 2022

The Nor’easter that barreled through the region over the weekend didn’t dump as much snow as earlier forecast, but still packed a punch, nonetheless. Totals in West Haven ranged around eight inches or more with drifts due to the gale-force winds. The scene around the Green was blizzard-like near the Doughboy Monument, giving it almost a black-and-white feel, while private and public plows attempted to stay ahead of the storm. More bad weather is expected tomorrow, with a rain-to-wintery mix forecast at press time.

Rossi and Public Works Commissioner Tom J. McCarthy distributed the test kits and personal protective equipment to nursing homes, churches and food pantries in West Haven as part of the city’s public health response to the pandemic.
