12/29- STORM WARNING NW HILLS

Good Thursday all-

Well, it's a fragile forecast but it appears as though most of CT (95%) of us have dodged the bullet here. The exception is the far NW hills...who may see double-digit snowfall...but even that is iffy at best. We have intense model disagreement there, with some showing 2" and others showing a foot. I'll take the middle road and go with a conservative 4-7"...but...don't be shocked to see more or less than that. For the rest of our area...1-3" seems reasonable...but even that may be rather optimistic...it's entirely within the realm of possibility that many towns south of 84 see a total of diddly squat...so don't be shocked if that occurs either. Of course, a microscopic shift in the track could change everything...so we'll have to see if that occurs and which direction that takes place in. That said...I feel pretty confident with these numbers and expect them to verify quite nicely. Other than today, no true winter storms are in sight, though I cannot rule out a bit of mixed precip right around ball drop time...and the first storm of 2017 will come on Tuesday...but mostly in the form of rain.

Stay safe out there- there is certainly the potential for icy spots on the roads and your driveway- I took a nasty fall myself the other day as I was getting the mail- so go as slow as you need to!

Tomorrow will be my year-in-review post...and it won't be nearly as entertaining as last year's! 2016 was not the most eventful weather year at all...but there were still a few noteworthy days as you would expect!
