Snow For Saturday

It’s not that the state will be on lockdown. Roads will be pasable though slippery. I think most of us have just learned we can wait these storms out! It’s just not worth the hassle.

I’ve met my match. Rachel Frank is just as tightly wound as I am over the snow coming Saturday. Maybe she’s more tightly wound! We have run the numbers and spun the maps a bunch of times this afternoon and evening. The models are nothing if not inconsistent over the amount of precipitation we’ll get.

What does look likely is an all day snow for Saturday. You’ll wake up with the ground already covered. It won’t be finished until after the Sun goes down… which of course you won’t see because of the snow!

If this forecast holds true most people will have second thoughts about venturing out Saturday. It’s not that the state will be on lockdown. Roads will be pasable though slippery. I think most of us have just learned we can wait these storms out! It’s just not worth the hassle.

Earlier computer runs had the largest snowfall potential in Eastern Connecticut. As the 00Z NAM arrives that looks less certain.

The best way to describe it is not a back breaker, but more than enough to notice.

Rachel is off tomorrow. I’ve got a dollar that says we still speak.

  1. It’s nice to see you back into your winter fighting mode! 🙂 How good does it feel to say… doppler radar…models…snow and anticipated accumulations all in one forecast? Been a long time! 😉

  2. Snow, I hope not a lot, been enjoying this Snow almost free winter so far.
    Do keep reminding myself that it is still Winter.

  3. We had never watched Foxct till you went there and the minute we saw Rachel, we said what a great team you two make! Like two peas in a pod! You guys can even make horrible weather bearable! We now have two favorite meterologists after many years of only one! thanks for the humor thrown into the forecast.

  4. Snow is prettier than mud and we’ll have plenty of that soon enough. I’m going to make the best of it and cook our annual Snow Dinner – Bracicola!

    1. Susie You are so right about snow vs mud. I’ll take snow any day and lots of it too! And OMG I thought we were the only crazy family that has a “traditional” snow day meal. For us it’s nice hot rich homemade potato soup just like my grandmother used to make on snow days when I was little.
      COME ON SNOW ** SNOW ** SNOW ********

  5. Why saturdayyyy?!?! Ok, I’m ok with this as long as you manage to speak to the weather Gods and have next Friday be a lovely February day since I’m moving that day. Thanks Geoff! Snow in our house = baked ziti.. could be hard with a lot of stuff packed!
