Well, it's that time of year again, and for the second time in three years, we have trouble for travel on thanksgiving morning- though this won't be nearly as bad as the 2-6" snowfall we picked up in 2014! That said, there will be some issues with icing tomorrow morning, most notably to the north and west of our area, but some impact is certainly likely here in Connecticut with a minor accumulation of snow and ice likely. I wouldn't change any plans based on this- it's low enough that if you are CAREFUL, you should be just fine getting to your destinations during the day tomorrow...though the later you leave, the better the roads will be. Some showers of either rain or snow are possible Friday night...and rain showers Sunday morning will turn to snow showers by the evening.
WFSB has released their winter storm names for this year. Because of the fact that this is a local blog...I tend to use this set of names as opposed to TWC's. For example...I will always refer to the Blizzard of 2013 as Blizzard Charlotte as opposed to Blizzard Nemo. This years list of names is featuring local sports stars.
Albie- For Albie Booth, a college football hall of famer that played for Yale from 1929-1931
Breanna- For Breanna Stewart, UCONN star currently playing in her rookie WNBA season for Seattle
Chris- For Chris Drury, the former captain of the New York Rangers
Diana- For Diana Taurasi, a former UCONN basketball star considered one of the best women's basketball players of all time
Eugene- For Eugene Robinson, former NFL all star and Super Bowl Champion from CT
Frank- For Frank Gifford, a NFL player who won the MVP in 1956 and announcer until 1997
Geno- For Geno Auriemma...we all know who he is.
Hugh- For Hugh Wiley, an olympic horseback rider from the 50s.
Ida Mae- For Ida Mae Martinez, a wrestler from the 50s
Jim- For Jim Calhoun...we all know who he is.
Kemba- For Kemba Walker, who lead the improbable UCONN men's championship team of 2011.
Lindy- For Lindy Remigino, a 1952 gold medalist in track and field
Matt- For Matt Harvey, currently a pitcher for the New York Mets.
Winter Storm Albie does not appear to be on the radar yet, but when it shows up, as we know it will...I'll have all the details!
Have a great thanksgiving and I will see you Monday!
