And to add to the complexity of this storm... A Clipper coming in ahead of the primary big storm will bring a shot of fresh air from the North...There's going to be icing problems .....but where we dont know yet.. There are so many factors in play here its amazing for me to see.

Lets rule out 1 senario..2 feet of snow... Lets rule out another senario 0 precip... Lets rule out one more...All Rain....

Based on the last model update... Stratford, CT will start as rain Thurs. morning, all day about an inch of it...then turn to heavy snow in the evening for about 4 inches of new snow but sticking to surface might be problem...

Do you mean Wednesday? Considering most sources I see say it's over and done by mid-Thursday, and only 30% chance of the stuff then.

In Stratford it will start early thursday morning "based on last model run" (2am) It slowed down a lot. New model coming out in less then 20...Its the one that has it out to sea and we get nothing the last 2 runs...Lets see what it does now..

edit: Clipper coming down so I apoligize, we should see precip Tuesday or Wednesday now...

Who's got a headache. This storm is for sure testing the patience of weather enthusiasts and professionals

EDIT::: Out to Sea. lol...Dear Lord, do any of them want to meet up for this one?
