Hurricane Erin achieved something most storms do not this weekend. "Extreme Rapid Intensification". Did climate change play a part? Science says, yes.

Some dry air to overcome but the snow is just a couple of hours away from CT

First flakes in #Wethersfield @ryanhanrahan.bsky.social 😀

Livin on the edge ..

Teachers would call this "wasted snow" - falling on a weekend - but we do need the snow to help the deficit.

A winter storm watch issued by the NWS for Saturday night. After 8 pm snow develops. A 4-8" snowfall looks likely by Sunday am before a mix of ice/snow before ending Sunday AM.

The change to mixed precip is happening - accumulating snow is coming to an end - a light glaze on top now begins. Hearing sleet pinging in #Wethersfield
