Good morning all once again- after reviewing the 12z model runs, it appears that we will not get a major snowstorm on Monday- the question is how little we get instead of how much. My early call is 2-5" shoreline and 1-4" inland with maaaaybe 6" somewhere on the shoreline. I am still playing a bit of model roulette with this thing, but the bottom line is we dodge the bullet with this one. Again, this will not be too big of a deal with only moderate accumulations likely. Final calls still coming later tonight but there is now only a medium chance...40 percent...of a snow day on Monday based on latest data. I can here the snow-lovers groans from here in Wallingford coming from all over the area! Close, alas no cigar it appears. Could it still change? Yes, but time is running out for anything over 5" or so for most of the area.
By the way, I define 'shoreline' communities as those south of the Merritt Parkway and 'inland' communities of those north. Some towns, such as Wallingford, have the parkway running right through them, so they typically could fit in either category but for whatever reason seem to always fall into the side that has a higher forecast, so people in these areas should typically assume the higher range that I give unless I specifically mention otherwise. Just wanted to clear that up, as I realized that that reference may be a tad confusing for some!
