Reminds me of a less intense version of 1/27/11. We had a nice 4" snow in the morning, a break during the afternoon, then all hell broke loose at night. I like those multi-faceted events.
I'm using this time to pile all the snow in my yard into one gigantic pile, which I will then cover with an insulating blanket. The pack must be protected at all costs!
Yeah, this feels like that kind of setup. Cold draining down the valley right to New Haven. Hopefully with all the limbs taken down by storms last summer, power loss risk will be somewhat mitigated.
