1/23- Snow is coming...

Happy FRIDAY all!

Today is going to be fine, but I won't bore you with that. Obviously, today is about tomorrow, so let's get to it. 

A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Hartford/Tolland/Windham counties, whereas everyone else has a Winter Weather Advisory...and I don't understand this, since they still give a 51% chance of 6+" of snow. Thus, why would you drop the Winter Storm Watch? Anyway, that's what it is.

I still expect 4-8" statewide with perhaps lighter amounts in the southeast due to extra mixing and there not being enough precip in the Litchfield hills. Snow should begin around 3-5 or so tomorrow morning and it's going to mix with sleet and freezing rain around noon, then flip back over to snow...we think. The models last night did come in quite a bit colder, and I'll be on the low end of snow if those are correct. If they aren't, then my 4-8" statewide should be fine. It wouldn't be much of a change anyway (if anything, it would only go to 5-10"- not much different really). Either way, despite there only being a Winter Weather Advisory, don't be fooled. Please do not drive tomorrow as heavy snow is likely, and I think totals should exceed four inches for most of Connecticut.

Monday's storm does not look particularly daunting at this time, but it was yesterday. I'm not writing it off yet for sure!
