2/2- Ice or snow?

Good Monday all-

A WINTER STORM WARNING expires at 6 at the shore and 1 AM inland...Winter Storm Darius made his presence felt quite strongly across the region this morning, dropping 6" at my house in Wallingford, and 7" in Danbury. The snow turned to ice at my house in Wallingford around 7 this morning, and it's been sleeting very hard since then. An additional inch or two of accumulation is possible as the storm pulls the cold air back through the upper atmosphere this afternoon. Tomorrow, fortunately, looks good, as does Wednesday, but accumulating snow appears very likely for Thursday. How much is up in the air for sure, but a 3-6" baseline for starters seems to be reasonable. It depends on how a clipper and coastal low interact...as well as how far west the low can track. The models currently do not agree, so I can't tell you more! More snow is also possible around Saturday, in a very similar situation to Thursday.


Today's storm takes precedence over weather history- so keep it coming and enjoy the snow and ice!
