2/20 AM update

Good morning everyone!

As expected, there were many delays today because of the black ice that formed overnight last night and left a nightmarish situation on the roadways with tons of black ice in all areas. Many spinouts have been reported this morning, especially in and around Hartford, so be very careful if you drive today! Additionally, more freezing rain is possible tonight as the temps plummet overnight as a cold front moves through the area today, so there is a decent chance of a delay again tomorrow if this pans out. The next chances for snow appear to be a small amount Monday and potentially a very large amount Wednesday with a nor'easter, but that is way, way, way, way too far out to make a call on (My final call on that probably won't come until Monday!). Not much weather excitement other than the residual ice today, so have a great Thursday!

Today in weather history- February 20, 1993- A major winter storm hits the western US with incredible snowfall rates- Duck Creek Utah gets buried under 50" of snow in 48 hours, and Sioux City, Iowa gets 14" of snow in just 6 hours (averaging 2.3" snow/hour!)
