1/30- Big trouble for Monday

Happy Friday- welcome to the weekend!

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY is in effect until tomorrow morning
A WIND ADVISORY is in effect until 4 PM this evening


Today's snow is going to continue through the morning lightly. I have a dusting at my house in Wallingford, but more snow is expected to fall, and 1-3" of snow is likely before the system moves out to give Maine a blockbuster snowfall. The attention will then shift to Monday. This is a bit of an odd storm in the sense that it won't pass over the 40/70 benchmark, but it looks like it's far enough north to drop a large amount of snow on Connecticut. Six or more inches are very possible from this one, so be sure to keep your eye on it- Winter Storm Watches could be going up tomorrow afternoon. Beyond that, the weather looks nice and quiet right into mid February.

Today in weather history- January 30, 1772- Parts of Virginia and the capital are dumped with 3 feet of snow- a highly unusual event that far south. It only happens in New England about once a decade, so this is likely their hundred year storm (except perhaps in the mountains).
