State police are investigating a "sporadic string" of burglaries to residences and businesses in several small eastern Connecticut towns.

Food drives abound in the fall and winter, when the holiday season makes people both generous and aware of the need faced by the state's low-income residents.

THIS STORM WAS LOCATED NEAR HOLYOKE...OR 6 MILES NORTHWEST OF CHICOPEE...AND MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 36 MPH.
