Different parts of the state are getting different amounts of snow. My house near New Haven says maybe 2-3”, my house right across the state line in MA is getting 22”.

Anybody from Connecticut knows you can't judge a storm by expecting one total for the whole state. That's just an unreasonable assumption. And depending upon which station you listen to will tell you a different story because that's where they're located. My house is on the Mass border on the 91 corridor and I'll be getting a foot there however where I work in Milford I'll only be seeing a coating to 2 in. You have to learn to check your weather from multiple sources if you live in Connecticut.

Supposed to get hardly anything in southeastern Connecticut

This is a very hard to forecast storm and the amounts of snow will vary based on where you are in the state. I follow eweather on Twitter and his forecast is usually very accurate. They have an app too, if Twitter isn’t your thing.

forecasted snow totals

We live in the nw corner so we're supposed to be getting over a foot. My sister lives by the shoreline and will barely be getting anything but they're supposed to be getting high winds. It really depends on your area.

Tolland here, last I checked, 3-5 inches if that and it all looks like just rain with temps ranging from low to mid 40s so I have no idea

Depends on specific location. I'm near the MA state line at 1200', so I'm expecting well over a foot. But 10 minutes away at the bottom of the hill, they'll probably only get 3-5".

Anywhere from 0 to 10 inches of rain or snow; possibly sunshine, fog is likely and a chance of clouds.

Edit: I was right!

I closely follow weather twitter and this seems to be for them an insanely confusing storm. The path keeps wobbling, and even a small adjustment means drastically different snow totals

not predictable for any one location

Hopefully we get 0 inches! Although they have down graded it to lots of wet rain and not that much snow for Hartford co. I’d say stop trusting the weather influencers and just read it on noaa weather site online.. you can’t trust anything on tv anymore since it’s all centered on ratings

It’s almost like there are different areas and elevations in the state.

I am going to say 3 inches Fairfield county with not much sticking to roads just some slush. I base this off of not much of anything

The low-pressure system keeps moving. If it stays close to shore, it means more rain. If it wobbles out to sea, that means colder temps can get farther south and more snow. We're talking about a 50-mile difference in where the front ends up, so it's difficult to predict.

I’m not buying it. I say lots of wind and rain. Maybe a mix up north by me. It’ll be slush by Wednesday. I may not even plow it.

Very little for the shoreline. Lots of cold rain for us.

For snow forecast, always expect the worse.

  • get gas for the snow blower
  • get the "ice" out
  • call housemates, know what their overnight plans are

and so on. Better to over-prepare and only deal with a few inches, than to ignore the risk and get 2 feet.

Usually if you’re north for the merritt parkway you’re getting snow, south of it you’re just getting rain

Nothing but rain so far where I live in Hartford county, but ya never know what could happen overnight. Honestly prefer snow to icy rain/sleet

I drove from an elevation of 900 feet down to Bradley airport at 4am, it was really shitty. It was predicted to be still rain at the lower elevations at that time, but its heavy wet snow. Not excited for the drive home today

I'm in Milford. You guys got snow?

Mtsteel67 t1_jc6fhx2 wrote

Depends on what town you live in

the further north you go the more snow you get.

Closer to the shoreline the less snow.

And I forgot, BETTER GO GET THAT BREAD AND MILK

Replying to raynethackery (#2,223,797)

Yeah, I had a similar commute pre-covid and I realized that I was spending upwards of 20 days a year sitting in my car, in traffic.

I'm still remote work all but one day a week, and I figure that I'd, at the very least, need to take a HEFTY raise to be convinced to do that commute again.

Got a new car in 2020 and it's only got 20k miles on it today - the wear and tear remote work has saved is pretty great, too.
