Good evening all- I have bad news if you don't like seeing flakes fly! The recent trends have actually been coming in colder and the air has more moisture behind the front than initially anticipated. Unfortunately, there is a certain consensus now on at least 1-3" of snow...with some models indicating as much as FIVE inches in northern areas. Based on this, it is clear that I must raise my prediction from 1-2" to a conservative 2-3" with locally higher amounts. In fact, dare I say it? Someone in the hills could even hit a half foot. Either way, this is one of the larger snow events that I can remember this late in the season. Also, with the rain today, which will freeze overnight, the roads tomorrow are going to be a complete utter and total disaster...and I highly discourage any travel before at least 10 AM because of the ice underneath the accumulating snow. Keep in mind that today, we here in Wallingford picked up over two inches of rain so when it freezes, there could be, quite honestly, a half inch or more of ice frozen on the roads. The rest of the week looks all right, but trouble could be brewing for Saturday...but more on that tomorrow!
This forecast, though issued at a different date, is likely what we are looking at tonight
