Good Monday all-
Well, unfortunately most schools are just delayed this morning instead of closed, which I had predicted on my facebook page. Why? The temps here on the Wallingford/North Haven line are already way above freezing (I've got 34), so it's just plain rain. Thus, a delay is almost undoubtedly the correct call. That, my friends, is why it's a great idea for superintendents to wait until morning to make a decision- weather is fickle, especially when it comes to the freezing line, which is often the single most difficult thing to predict in winter storms. Moving forward, there is literally no precipitation in sight anytime in the next week, as the late week storm scoots out to sea! Thus, today is the one hump, and then we'll be home free (though it'll still be seasonably cold)
I won't bore you with a daily forecast. I'll say this- Sunny and highs from 25-35...for each of the next 6 days.
Today in weather history- January 12, 2011- Winter Storm Benedict pounds Connecticut, and becomes the single biggest snowstorm on record at BDL, which still stands today. A maximum total of 30 inches falls in North Haven and Wallingford (which was a nearly unfathomable amount at the time- before Blizzard Charlotte!), causing schools to close for two days.
