Business Breakfast This Morning, Tip A Cop Tonight

Good morning, Farmington. All the rain we got yesterday has frozen over and coated every surface in a half an inch of ice. Temperatures are expected to stay around 30 degrees today so melting may not be in the future, though there’s a 50 percent chance of more snow. Be careful out there.

Farmington’s Economic Development Commission’s Business and Breakfast series continues today at Farmington Bank headquarters at 8 a.m. with John Patrick of Farmington Bank, John Shemo of Metro Hartford Alliance and Bill Tierney of Small Business Administration.
