Good Wednesday all-
Well, the storm for tonight has mysteriously disappeared for us, and I think 1-3" is a good call. Oddly, the NWS has issued a Winter Storm Watch for the southern counties, but I highly disagree with their forecast...and am puzzled big time as to why they did that. Hopefully they'll be cancelled before the storm. What happened is that the storm shifted south a tad too far for any significant snow here. As I said before, this was a very delicate forecast to begin with, and this booted the snow to Jersey. Central New Jersey can expect 6-12" of snow this evening- that's how close we are to getting a huge snowstorm, but it's simply not going to happen. In any event, there are no major storms in sight now for quite some time, other than occasional flurries on Monday. Highs will be in the 30s and 40s during this time period, which is still below average but manageable. Before I go though, it's worth mentioning that Friday morning will very likely feature record lows for us here in CT (as in the low single digits or even some negative numbers).
Today is the only day of the year which is also a command, so now "March forth!" and enjoy your day!
Today in weather history- March 4th, 1909- President Taft's inaguaration was forecasted to feature fair weather, but instead a major nor'easter clobbered DC, and he gave his speech in a raging snowstorm, drawing much critisism to the US Weather Bureau, the predecessor to our NWS. Yikes!
