Good morning all and Happy Saturday- which will be happier when I say Monday's storm misses to the south! The Polar Vortex came far enough south where it did indeed deflect the system out to sea south of New England, while dumping places as close as South Jersey with 8" of snow again. I am now more concerned about Weds. night into Thursday, as a clipper system attempts to give us a moderate thumping of snow during that timeframe. The temps will be marginal at best though, so it may be difficult to get accumulations...we'll see! One concern to note though is that the ECMWF long-range forecasts indicate weather like this is possible almost into the month of May- this truly is the winter that won't quit! My forecast for Monday is officially 0". Wednesday night's forecast will come out Monday evening...
Today in weather history- March 15, 1952- 73.62" of rain fall on La Reunion Island in the South Indian ocean in less than 24 hours, establishing the new World Record for most rain in one day. This averages out to 3.07" of rain per hour! By comparison, Hartford's average annual precipitation is 43.7"!!!
