Afternoon Update on Blizzard Eugene

Greetings everyone-

A BLIZZARD WARNING is up for the entire state except for the shoreline of Middlesex and New London Counties

Get ready for SNOW! The second biggest snowstorm ever recorded in the month of March is on the way to Connecticut today, and it's nearly here! The trend for today has been to bring the storm west. What this means is that more mixing is introduced to immediate shoreline locations and areas east of I-91. While it is possible the mix line could cross further than that, but by the time it arrives in western areas, the storm will be practically if not entirely over, so it would be very brief. The other trend on the models has been to increase totals with widespread totals of around 2ft. Thus, for areas that remain all or 4/5 snow, which are areas that are west of I-91 or in the northern counties, with the exception of literally the first two towns from the shoreline- I am forced to increase my totals to 20-30" with locally a 32" or so total not out of the question. For other areas, I will reduce totals slightly with shoreline communities and southeast Connecticut being able to expect 8 to 14 inches southeast...and 12 to 18 inches southwest.

Wow. This is one for the ages...stay safe everyone.
