STORM WARNING- Flip and a flop and away we go



Good Sunday all-

Well, this will surprise you...

A WINTER STORM WARNING is up for New London, a WINTER STORM WATCH is up for Tolland and Windham, and a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is up for New Haven, Hartford, and Middlesex.

Incredibly, for the third time this season, the models have jogged way west at the last second again, forcing me to go from forecasting nothing to several inches. My new snow map is below...



This amount of snow is going to fall tonight, which is obviously somewhat problematic. These numbers are very fragile and continue to be subjected to change, as a slight jog west introduces 5-10" totals to almost all of the state...while a jog east would drag that 3-6" line far closer to the Rhode Island border than I am currently forecasting...though time is running out. The snow should begin at around 7 or 8 tonight and continue through the early morning hours of tomorrow. This will be a very nastily tough call for superintendents. I'm most inclined to think that many districts east of route 8 will be closed completely, while areas west of there likely will escape with a delay. What a way to welcome spring...stay warm tonight!
