Good Sunday all-
A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is up for all of Northern CT except for southern Litchfield County...what the heck...that really needs to be included!
In any event, a decent statewide accumulating snow event is on the way for this evening. I think most of us see 1-4", with perhaps a scattered 5" total in the Litchfield Hills north of the Waterbury area. Elevation will be key here...as will just how quickly the warm air is able to filter down to the surface (that's especially key in the difference between ice and rain). As for school impacts...I expect most schools north of the immediate shoreline to delay. I believe that along the shoreline, schools will likely be totally open. That said, in Litchfield County, especially in northern zones, it wouldn't surprise me to see some schools completely close. This will occur in the areas that see 4" instead of 1"...and get a fair amount of icing.
All in all, this isn't the big snowstorm we once feared, but it's still an impactful event. Keep your eyes on the skies today as the flakes get ready to fall and take some extra time in the morning to get where you need to be!
