Good Monday all-
A WIND ADVISORY is up for all of Connecticut today
The roads are pretty slick this morning- please take it slow!
Winter Storm Diana is gone for us, but it dropped as much as 8" of snow in Sharon, and most of the state picked up generally 4-6" with some ice as we warmed the atmosphere but not the ground! Thankfully, that may well have been the last major storm for a while, as the Wednesday threat appears to be fairly small at this time. It's still far too close for comfort, but as it is now, I would only expect a couple of flurries as the phasing occurs too far to the east for a significant storm to impact our area,
As for the rest of the week, I think we can be pretty comfortable forecasting partly sunny skies with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s, which is a bit below average for this time of year as our average high is now approaching 40 degrees.
Today in weather history- February 11, 1784- Ice flows block the Mississippi River at New Orleans, ultimately ending up in the Gulf of Mexico. This has only happened two times as far as we know- the other was in 1899! That takes some very, very serious cold!
