Climate

Between October and April the Hartford area averages an overnight low of 32.3°F and reaches -4.4°F at its coldest, with 176 days below 45°F — about 5.8 months. A cat’s thermoneutral zone starts around 86°F against a typical indoor 64–72°F, so those are the months an indoor cat here is actively hunting for a heat source.
