Good Tuesday all-
Well, I got a total of roughly 0.5" of snow yesterday morning, which is very close to what I expected and will gladly accept. Tonight, we get to do it all over again- in fact, tonight's system and yesterday's look remarkably similar and we can expect some snow and mixed precipitation tonight...and we will likely have the morning commute snarled once again with a wintry mix. I am very concerned about some icing tonight as well, and I do once again expect schools from around Meriden north to be delayed...and some areas to the south, particularly in the Naugatuck and CT river valleys, which tend to hold onto the cold air for longer than the areas not in that region...and have it arrive first, which is important tonight, because this will be one of those unusual situations where it is rain first, then changing to snow, which is the reverse of our typical weather! Granted, it won't accumulate much- it will be tough to even get 1" of snow out of this...but the timing is horrid. Highs today will be in the mid 40s...and unbelievably that will be the warmest temperature we get in the next week, with snow or mixed precipitation possible on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday...ouch. It certainly is an active start to winter- the exact opposite of last year!
Today in weather history- December 6, 1970- A windstorm strikes Washington, DC, and the Christmas Tree at the White House falls over!
