Good morning all! A major snowstorm is on the way to southern New England...and this is certainly appearing to be the eggs and milk storm...This one looks like the granddaddy of the Winter season, with over one foot a distinct possibility for Connecticut. My early prediction is 10-20"...with locally two feet of snow a distinct possibility. This places this one firmly into the major category, however...some isolated mixing may be possible on the shoreline. Despite this, it looks like a massive snowstorm for everyone in central Connecticut, the biggest storm since Blizzard Charlotte last year. I am also comfortable enough to assure a snow day on Thursday...near 100 percent...and a high chance...80 pecent...of a snow day on Friday...due to this storm. Additionally, a concern for me is the wind speed, and with gusts between 35 and 50 mph consistently through the storm...I believe a blizzard warning will likely be needed over at least the southern part of Central Connecticut, and likely extending northward all the way to the Mass border. This is the one that people have been waiting for/dreading all winter. This is "the big one". I'll update the forecast on this potentially historic nor'easter this evening!
This date in weather history- Feb.11, 1899- A record cold snap hits the United States, with sub-zero temperatures as far south as Louisiana. In the following days, a massive blizzard develops from Tampa to New England, with our area receiving about 30 inches of snow
