Good Wednesday all-
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to enjoy the time spent with friends and family.
Among the many stories of the next week or so, one that will take the most time to talk about is the cold weather. In fact, the potential exists for this to be the coldest ten day stretch ever recorded at BDL, as we may not see temperatures hit 20 degrees not just today...but until well into 2018. Yak! Well, what can you do except shake your head and keep the heat on and stay warm. For what it's worth, the overnight lows look to feature many nights with temperatures close to or even below zero degrees. Yeah, so not good. Bundle up this week and next! Another storm threat appears to lie around Friday 1/5. Which, go figure, I have a flight on that day to Austin, TX to attend the meteorology conference there from the 8th to the 11th...so that's a high-risk forecast for me personally too!
There also remains a snow threat for the morning of New Year's Eve. Of our two major models, one has consistently suggested a major snowstorm for New England (the Euro) while another (the GFS) has no storm anywhere within 1000 miles. The Canadian model is closer to the Euro, forecasting a general 4 to 8" of snow lasting from about 9 PM on Saturday to 3 PM on NYE. Lovely. That's extremely unhelpful to say the least, so we have to watch this very closely over the next few days as we begin to get a better picture.
