Good Wednesday all-
Well, all I can say is yikes. A rare WIND CHILL ADVISORY has been issued for everyone in Connecticut, as temps tonight will drop to between +4 and -11...with winds blowing north at 25 mph with 40 mph gusts. That means wind chill values of around -20. That's really, really cold. In terms of precipitation, the best chance of precip is Friday, when a clipper system moves through with light snow accumulation possible. Sometime next week, there are a few lows developing that could become coastal storms, but they're way too far off for me to tell you anything more.
Today in weather history- January 7, 1973- In a truly remarkable event, 4 inches of freezing rain falls and accumulates in Atlanta, GA, knocking out power to 300,000 people (in some cases for weeks) and closing schools for a significant amount of time. Can you imagine 4 inches of freezing rain? That is brutal, remember that we consider 0.5" of freezing rain enough to be disastrous, so imagine 8 times that!!
