It's coming. Dews in the teens ahead of the precip.

Harrisburg just started reporting snow after 3 hours of Virga.

“We’ve been trying to do a big push to recruit more people into the agency, as with the entire nation getting people with CDL licenses is proving difficult,” he said.

The ideal staffing for that bureau of DOT is roughly 1,600 workers, so the openings and absences have created nearly a 30 percent decrease in staff.

“If we are down by 400 to 500 people, that’s going to be a huge problem,” Eucalitto said if the agency encounters a prolonged weather event. “We are going to have to ask people to stay home during those events. We are going to have to talk about restricting travel.”

While the snow events so far this winter have been relatively small, January, February and March bring the potential for these “long-duration” storms.

Eucalitto said at times they require crews to work for 24 to 36 hours to clear roadways.

“They need rest breaks,” he said.
A WTF moment!!!!!! WHO ARE THEY WATCHING????????????

The next threat for winter weather comes overnight Thursday into Friday morning, when the National Weather Service predicts a moderate to high chance of 2 inches of snow or more across much of Connecticut. Some areas in the region could see up to 6 inches of snow, although those total accumulations are not expected in Connecticut. The weather service estimates an average of about 3 inches falling across the state.

“We think we can manage it,” Eucalitto said. “We just want people to be patient it might not be as rapid response clearance as people are used to being down by almost a quarter, 30 percent of our plow crews. A snow event is easier for us to respond to than an ice event.”

Similarly, in NY anytime I was driving up and down I-684 towards Danbury, they posted on those electronic signs, "help your neighbors and get paid too.....plow for the DOT!"

It was always a Friday storm from what I saw but it is starting earlier. Instead of after 3am it'll probably start around 1am. Lots of dry air to overcome.

Schools should be closed for Tomorrow.

Snow Day!!
