Good Wednesday all-
Well, today isn't starting out too well, but we expected this, so it's not a big deal. The weather should clear up by later this afternoon and be at least partly, if not primarily, sunny. This weather will hold through tomorrow and most of Friday before the next round of precip moves through. Unfortunately, the weekend right now look to be a total washout. A slow-moving low will move off the coast late Friday and drift southwards. This will cause the rare event of the low giving us rain, moving away, and then becoming a nor'easter worth watching, though it appears it'll be too close for snow, instead delivering us another bout of torrential rain early next week. It's extremely lucky that this is early December though, as this would have been a truly monster snowstorm if there was more cold air in place as there may be in February, for example. Either way, the storm will finally clear by Tuesday, and the middle of next week should be fine. Beyond that...who knows? Anyone can guess weather a week out and be nearly as accurate as forecasts beyond the 8 day timeframe or so.
Today in weather history- December 3, 1992- A nor'easter drops copius amounts of heavy wet snow across New England. The jackpot this time was Monterey, MA, with a what-now-appears-to-be-paltry 19 inches of snow. Incredibly, this was the highest snowfall total anywhere in Massachusetts in the five previous years. Now, Connecticut has seen snowfall totals exceed 19" a whopping three times in the last four winters (January 2011's Winter Storms Benedict & Denis and February 8-9, 2013's Blizzard Charlotte).
