Yeah, but..... (and mostly an American phenomenon though almost as true in Japan and South Korea as well, definitely not in Europe....and probably within the last 25 to 30 years....I remember starting out in the workforce in the late 80s everyone (even hard working America) was laughing at Japan as being too much like this):

I don't know what the models have done overnight, but NWS is saying snow for everyone but it suggesting it is going to stay near FORTY at the coast, which doesn't sound like a lot of sticking to me.

This map is what they think right now is the WORST case scenario, granted the dates seem to suggest it stops snowing Wednesday morning but the forecast has it snowing all day Wednesday (actually in coastal areas they seem to be saying mixing during the day Wednesay). But seeing those models posted on here last night, I could see them suddenly in "batten down the hatch" mode in a day or two, LOL!

Will Bridgeport or Hartford make THIS LIST?


Hartford has 31.8" snow this season so far.
Bridgeport has 25.4"


So they'll need another 2 feet of snow to make the Top 30 list. LOL. So guess not.

I think unless we get something significant this week, we may for the first time in awhile have a (albeit barely) below normal snow season (I think 25.4 is still below normal for the entire season for BDR but I might be wrong, I know its in the 20s somewhere, BDL's normal seasonal snowfall is about 40" though). Of course in theory it can even snow a month from now so I might be "counting chickens before they hatch"......

We've had significant snowfalls in late April in central CT. I recall one in about 2002 or 2003. It had been a horrible winter, with a huge amount of snow, and the last blow was measurable snow, maybe about 6 inches, at the end of April. It finally warmed up the next day. I remember my kids playing in short sleeves on a playground with melting snow all around them that day. So snow isn't definitively over until May 1, in central CT.

Oh boy here we go, Al Roker saying "this could be the biggest snow storm of winter"

When I get back I'll check latest.

Curious about April 2002 or 2003 too

March 7, 2018 Snowstorm Update:

Just looking at the data from 2 models only right now. For Bridgeport.. You know if its cold enough to snow there, it is everywhere in CT. Just matter of how much precip is for other areas.


CELSIUS TO FAHRENHEIT CONVERSION: Anything negative = below freezing.




GFS says 1.01" falls as all snow. Upper 30s Wednesday afternoon but the snow before that should keep it cooler I think. 6-9" of snow.






Euro says 0.77" liquid falls as all snow. Much colder at the surface than the GFS. Less snow though. 4-7"







Here is the Euro snowfall total

Mid April 2002 we had a heat wave with 90s.


April 7-8, 2003 there was a snowstorm. Only couple inches for the airports but probably half foot somewhere in CT. I don't remember it but I was in Westchester at the time. NYC got 4". Then was in the 80s a week later

Found this newspaper I had saved before the climate was changing.. July 11, 1989.


Looks like some intense storms came through and spawned off some Tornados in the area.
