Good Tuesday all-
Well, this week is going to be a really boring weather week for most of southern New England. The only true event is going to be a round of light snow tomorrow afternoon or evening, and even that looks real questionable. The bigger story could be this weekend however, as a really powerful coastal storm develops. While the pattern itself isn't exactly favorable for a major storm, the European ensembles are literally dropping 10-20" of snow...so I don't want to totally ignore it since it's not too far away. Quite honestly, the odds of 4+" of snow are certainly less than 25%, but I will update tonight anyway because of the proximity of the storm. If models shift some 25 miles north or so, a major snowstorm would nail New England. For now though, only flurries should do it (unless you like the Euro ensembles- which many meteorologists do). Another storm threat exists early next week, but again the pattern is not overly favorable. After that though...that pattern is about to change for the better for snow lovers.
Today in weather history- January 20, 1978- A monster snowstorm breaks the all-time record snowfall at Boston's Logan Airport of 21 inches. Here in Connecticut, a changeover to rain was expected, but it never happened and so 1-2 feet of unexpected snow dropped on the area, with winds gusting up to 70mph on the shoreline. Oddly, the record in Boston would be broken a mere two weeks later...but more on that later in this segment!
