Good Sunday all-
A WIND CHILL WARNING has been issued for everyone except the immediate shoreline for the first time in recent memory, a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY has been issued for the southern counties and Litchfield County, and a WINTER STORM WARNING remains for Hartford, Tolland, and Windham counties. The big stories today is that the Norlun trough missed us to the south- I was concerned about that last night at about 10- leaving many of us with less snow than predicted. My apologies, but this storm was probably the single hardest storm to forecast in the last five years. I went to bed last night unsure if I'd wake up to nothing or 8". In any event, what's done is done, and what happens tonight is now far more concerning than what's left of Blizzard Faith. The temperature will drop to about -8, which itself is bad, but the wind will be positively howling out of the north at 10-20mph. That means that the wind chill will approach -30 tomorrow morning. That's insanely hard to do here in Connecticut, but it's happening, so be prepared. In fact, it's so extreme that I think schools would close if it wasn't a federal holiday anyway. The storm threat midweek appears to have been delayed 24hrs and now appears to be primarily Wednesday night and Thursday, so therefore we're too far out for any accumulation prediction, but it looks minor at the current time. Next Sunday does not look minor, however...that's worth watching.
Enjoy your day!
