10/10- Where's the Rain?

Good Monday all-

Happy Columbus Day!

Well, this blog post will be extremely short and easy to write, as there are no significant weather systems coming through our region for the next ten days. That's really tough to do, and we do not need that to happen now as we are still in a significant drought (although the big time rain yesterday certainly helped!). That was a combination of Matthew coming a bit further north than expected and an excellent job by the front to tap into the tropical moisture. We're left with partly sunny conditions and highs in the 60s, with lows generally in the high 30s or low 40s. These temperatures are very near the average for this time of year. Be careful with your plants tonight though...we're heading down to the low to mid 30s, and it wouldn't surprise me if tonight was the killer freeze in the higher elevations of Litchfield County...so cover them up and get ready for a rather nippy evening.

Also, keep Bermuda in your thoughts throughout this week as they look likely to take a direct hit from what will be Hurricane Nicole.

Today in weather history- October 10, 1804- Goshen, CT- located in far northwest Litchfield county, manages to pick up a foot of snow from an extremely powerful coastal system that dropped even higher amounts in northern New England- including three feet on top of the Green Mountains.
