A colder trend would be great for mitigating the risk, which is definitely on the table given recent guidance. I love any wintry precip personally but when I lived in DC in my early 20s we had an ice event I’ll never forget. Walked outside to warm up the car and when I hit the first step down God as my witness I went flying. It’s a miracle I didn’t crack my skull but I have matching scars on my forearms as a reminder of what ice can do. Still loved that storm.

Just speaking for CT, I agree with @weatherwiz and @FXWX. While it’s not a lot of precip in the whole scheme of things, the icing likelihood and timing is enough for widespread cancellations. You’re going to have pretty cold surfaces, and much of the state will be below freezing most of tomorrow. It doesn’t matter how “tough” you think you are—a glaze of ice will put you on your ass or send your car into something or someone. It’s not like society is shutting down for a week lol.

That’s where my head is. If I can find time to write probably start with a 1-3” snow call statewide with mix to rain, widespread cancellations. Schools won’t risk it even if temps spike earlier in the day. I could see a final call that’s 2-4” with mix to dry slot/drizzle tomorrow.

Nobody wants to be in the snow hole of CT

Snow globes never get old. 24/19 with a solid coating everywhere and good snow growth. In East Hartford.

I’m the most down on winter here and even I don’t see that. I’m far from hopping a ride on the epic train, but I do think this reset has some legitimate promise in bringing a respectable winter month for most.

Yeah—get as many rolls of the dice as possible during this reset.

Final images from an odd month. Normal cold and…you know… Taken at the CT River in East Hartford.

Yeah +1.2 (not including today) isn’t a disaster. BDR is -1.6. At home my monthly average is 27.4°. By far my coldest the last few years.

BDL is * though. Being serious.

More seconds of shaking from an earthquake imby than inches of snow this winter. What a way to run a season.

In all seriousness—I’m on to 2025-26, but it’d be an almost incomprehensible level of futility if we went through peak snow climo without something. I know we’re willing to roll the dice on a gradient pattern but we're doing so because all the other rolls we had with loaded dice were a loss. Nothing has come easy (not that I expected it to) and turning to February we're hoping that a pattern notorious for creating winners and losers produces for most of us. That’s shaky ground to stand on to me considering the actual tenor of the season. Again, I think it snows, and I’m sticking with my thought that mby gets another ~20-25” this season, but even as I read this sentence it seems like a stretch given the next 10 days or so that will likely fail to produce meaningful snow in CT and a potentially sensitive pattern afterward.

Cousin Donnie tried to sound the alarm. Weeks ago. Where have we heard that before?

A balmy 14F at noon here in EH. Running about two degrees colder than this time yesterday.

I’m at 8.8” with a seasonal average of between 45-50. It’s going to take an exceptionally prolific storm or stretch to get close to that given the timing and current pattern. Even my updated prediction of 27-32 here when I rightfully canceled winter about ten days ago is in trouble. Extraordinary.

Oops, that’s right. Five days!

It may be hard to achieve, but if HFD can accomplish a high of 20 or lower today it’ll be the first time the area has had consecutive 20 or lower highs since mid-February 2015. My high was 18.7 yesterday. BDL last did it in 2019.

Out this morning in a t-shirt clearing potential ice dams around the house. Feels wonderful out lol. Currently at 4.7° here in EH. Thank God we had snow otg at least.

Low of -4.3°. I absolutely love it.

Had a low of 1.2 and high of 18.7° here in East Hartford. Pretty sure the coldest day since Feb 2023.

It’s unreal.

That’s why this is the worst winter of them all.

Euro has a very cold night here, while the GFS is almost 20° warmer. Euro nailed last night. I got down to 1.2°. So close to zero though it looks like HFD did.
