Good Monday all-
A WINTER STORM WARNING is in effect for Hartford/Tolland/Windham/Litchfield, everyone else is under a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY. Well, today we deal with the last stage (and unfortunately most significant) of Winter Storm Ellie- up to 6 inches of snow may fall during the day today, particularly in areas that do not mix. Those that do though, will be getting all ice, since the temps will not reach even the mid-20s! Yikes. To make matters worse, a clipper will bomb near the coast on Thursday. There's still some question with this, but a 4-8" snowfall seems like a reasonable place to start (though it could be much more or much less). Following that, the temperature drops like a rock, and we may not leave the single digits by Saturday, and lows could be negative double-digits if everything comes together. Naturally, there's a risk of a major snowstorm next Sunday and Monday as well. This pattern is here to stay, and most meteorologists seem to believe that we're stuck like this until at least the second week of March...ouch!
Today is the anniversary of the founding of the National Weather Bureau, which would later become the National Weather Service, and it is 145 years old as of today, providing accurate information and forecasts, as well as the body that issues Winter Storm Watches and Warnings, and other weather alerts.
