Description: The last major action in the north by the British.
The Battles of Connecticut Farms and Springfield The British invasion of June, 1780 The winter of 1779-1780 was the worst one of the war, and even the worst of the 15th Century. It snowed early that year, snowed often, and deep, so that the roads and fences were buried under enough snow that they were hard to find. They had no equipment for snow removal, so the roads were often impassible. It was so cold for so long that the Hudson River froze, and so did large parts of Long Island Sound. The British were able to ride horses and take cannon over the ice to Staten Island.
