4/23- BRR!

Good Thursday all-

Wow is it cold this morning. That cold front meant BUSINESS last night, and our temps dropped some 30 degrees in the overnight hours. Now, parts of Connecticut are dealing with SNOW flurries on April 23rd- unbelievable! Unfortunately, the cold isn't exactly going anywhere as we're locked into this chilly pattern for quite some time. Otherwise, there won't be much precipitation in the next week except for showers on Monday and potentially a large nor'easter midweek next week...but it's far too early for details on that as path could change. It's near impossible to get one as snow this time of year, though, so I wouldn't be too concerned as the worst case scenario is probably a 1-2" rainstorm at this time.

Today in weather history- April 23, 1988- A strong storm brings heavy rains to California, but the real story here is in Tustin, where 9 girls were injured after the tree they were taking shelter under was struck by lightning. Let this be a lesson for this summer- DON'T DO THAT- trees are awful places to take shelter from thunderstorms!
