Good Thursday all-
A WIND CHILL ADVISORY is in effect for the northern half of New Haven and Fairfield counties and all of northern Connecticut, but really this impacts everyone, since the difference from one town to another is not that great, so let's just say it's really cold. Regardless, light snow should break out this afternoon around 2...and, although it won't be heavy at all...it'll be a pain to drive in and it could drop two inches by 8 tonight or so. The big problem though lies this weekend, as a HUGE coastal storm develops and likely drops Boston with another blizzard and 1-2ft of snow. Fortunately, it doesn't look like it'll be that bad in Connecticut, but it could certainly still be a 10-14" snowfall if everything comes together correctly...so it's worth watching.
I'm also concerned about a storm near the middle of next week. The fact that we'll get a storm is all but certain...though the precip is not. I was really disturbed by the Euro, which pretty much dropped several inches of ICE. That would be an absolute disaster...and we have to hope this does not happen, or most everyone would lose power. This is an absolute worst case scenario...but it's a severe one, so worth a mention.
Today in weather history- February 12, 2010- For the first (and thus far only) time on record...all 50 states have snow on the ground, with the white stuff covering 67% of the US. Even Florida had snow (1" in De Funiak Springs), and the summit of Mauna Kea, Hawaii has a trace.
