Winters were cold and summers were mild
The colony's climate would have been similar to the current climate, though a little colder due to the Little Ice Age for part of the colonial period. Connecticut has a humid continental climate (more of a humid subtropical climate on the coast) with relatively cold winters and pretty warm and humid summers. Average snowfall is about 25 - 30 inches on the coast and 40-50 well inland and in the hills.

Connecticut was founded by Thomas Hooker for religeus freedom.
it was not too easy because colonial Connecticut was mostly a fishing area. the land in Connecticut was hilly but had good soil for farming. so technically the answer to this question is... it depends on where you are in Connecticut to find a good place for farming.
