Good Saturday all-
Well, amazingly, for the third weekend in a row, a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for everyone except the immediate shoreline, with NOAA generally forecasting 5 to 8 inches of snow. This may be a bit low...but it is not unreasonable. The majority of the snow, by far, will fall on Monday. Today and tomorrow should feature some snow, but it won't screw your plans up too much (if at all). Monday, however, will be a total loss, as either 6-10" of snow...or 0.2-0.4" of ice...will fall, depending entirely on your location (more ice the further south you go). For now, I think the primary rain/snow line will lie just north of New Haven, over about North Branford or so. Places north of that will see snow...and areas south of that will see ice. There certainly is, however, a chance that the line moves as far north as 84...and, if it does, totals are sliced in half but with more ice. It doesn't really matter, though, since ice is probably worse than snow, so it's very safe to say that, for the 3rd Monday in a row, I expect all schools to be closed completely. Delay are even possible on Tuesday. Amazing. To make matters worse, another nor'easter could be in the vicinity, yes, next Sunday into Monday. Unreal! For now, though, let's focus on Winter Storm Ellie/Marcus.
Today is also the 9th anniversary of Blizzard Carson (the blizzard of '06)- the 2nd largest snowstorm on record at BDL (January 11-13, 2011's Winter Storm Benedict is #1)- dropped 2 feet of snow on most of Connecticut with extremely strong wind.
