The visibility looking across Pequanic valley is actually coming down!!! This is a great surprise!!! Hoping for the first white Christmas in a looooooong time.
93 was pretty epic as I recall. That's the year NYC closed the bridges for de-icing on several occasions. I think a pedestrian died from falling ice on a bridge. Snow on the ground for weeks IIRC.
I need to experience that type of storm once in my life. Of course it's doubtful there will be skiing tomorrow (even today I think most places are closed on 'wind hold') so that would be frustrating. But to see 5 inches per hour for 35 hours!!!!
we haven't had ice in years. When my kid played hockey we would play on local ponds every year - haven't been able to skate on a pond in at least 4 or 5 years here in southern CT.
About 5 inches on grass and outdoor table, just cleared about 2.5 to 3 off driveway - pretty heavy snow here on Trumbull Bridgeport line. - 1/2 N of Parkway.
I went to see Platoon with a couple friends the night before, expecting to be able to not worry about getting up early the next day - well .... the wake up sucked - flurries and filtered sun .... AND SCHOOL!!!!!
