A warm front is approaching and with it will come a little bit of moisture.  There isn't much but there may be enough to blanket the state with a dusting of snow.  Some towns may get up to 2 inches before it ends tomorrow morning.  

This looks to be a quick burst of light snow that should occur between midnight through 6 am.  

Today : Cloudy with a high of 41° Winds NE 5-10 mph

Tonight : Cloudy with a few snow showers after midnight.  A dusting to an inch of accumulation is possible.

Saturday : Mostly Cloudy with a few rain and snow showers throughout the day.  High 42°

Sunday : Cloudy but warmer with a high of 53°.  Breezy with winds SSW 10-15 mph

November 27th, 2012 was a pretty historic day in Connecticut.  Why?  It marked the 2nd time this month that we received snow.  It's very rare to have it snow twice so early in the season but this year it did just that.  The November 7th Nor'easter brought 12 inches of snow to North Haven which caught many by surprise.  Yesterday's snowfall was barely measurable at .3 inches but it still counts!  Does this mean we will have an active wintry weather season?  Only time will tell.  

I was working in Wallingford on Tuesday and it snowed all day there but the temperatures were warm enough that none of it stuck to the pavement.  The commute home was uneventful and traffic moved right along.  However, if you went to Bethany or Cheshire you were likely to see 2-3 inches on the ground!  My friend Greg took some pictures in Bethany and it was a much different picture than here and many coastal Connecticut towns.  Our next chance for precipitation is Friday night into Saturday so stay tuned for more information.

Good snowy morning Connecticut!  It looks like we will get a taste of winter today with amounts generally anywhere from a dusting to 3 inches statewide. Please read this special weather statement from the NWS. The heaviest precipitation will occur between 4-7 pm so be careful coming home from work this evening!  The extreme shoreline will mix with rain which will bring down the totals there.  Everywhere else can expect 1-3 inches before everything clears out around midnight tonight.

TODAY : Light Snow.  1-3 inches is expected. Lesser amounts at the immediate shoreline Highs 35-38° Winds NNE 5-10 mph

TONIGHT :  Snow showers.  Ending between midnight and 3 AM.  Winds N 10 mph

WEDNESDAY : Mostly Sunny.  High of 41°. Winds NW 10 mph

The remainder of the week will be dry but very cold.  Highs won’t approach 50° until Sunday!

On the way to work this morning I noticed some potholes in the road that I had to avoid.  Normally pothole season is in the spring, but they can also show themselves in late fall and winter as well.  Cracks in the road are filled with water and at night when the temperatures drop the water freezes.  Ice expands and helps to make the cracks in the road bigger.  Then as cars and trucks repeatedly drive over the road, a pothole forms and grows until it’s a gaping hole in the middle of the road! 

Potholes are extremely annoying and dangerous.  They’ve been known to cause serious car damage that could add up quickly.  You could blow a tire or damage your suspension if you drive over a deep enough hole so stay aware of what’s ahead of you and try to react as safely as possible.

Have you seen any large potholes in your area recently?  Contact your local town and let them know so it can be addressed and patched up.  You can also give everyone a heads up as to where they are by posting the locations in 

I saw some on Blakeslee Avenue in North Haven which luckily isn’t a main road in town but it just happens to be on my route to work in the morning.

Good Morning Connecticut!  After a very windy day yesterday where wind gusts were recorded up to 40 mph, today will be less breezy but it will be colder!  Highs today will barely reach 40 degrees! 

 I’ve been keeping an eye on a coastal storm possibility for Tuesday and/or Wednesday.  A few days ago it looked like we were going to get rain and wind but the cpu models are starting to agree on a more southerly track which puts us in snow territory.  The good news is that there isn’t a lot of moisture expected with this storm.  While all of Connecticut will see some white death this week, I think the most will be 3-5 inches in localized areas.  There is still time for the storm track to shift and change the amounts and the trend has been in the “less precipitation” category lately.  As of right now it looks like a 1-3 or 2-4 inches scenario.  The timing of the storm has sped up lately also and right now it looks like the evening commute on Tuesday could be a bit slick so keep that in mind.

  I hope everyone enjoys the rest of the long Thanksgiving Day weekend and finishes up all those great leftovers!

The weather will cooperate for Thanksgiving this year!  The November dry spell for will continue through the holiday and we'll see sunny skies with temperatures in the 50's.  Overnight lows will be in the 30's.

For those of you who are heading out early on Black Friday, you'll need the jacket in the morning but the temperatures will moderate into the mid and upper 50's by afternoon.  Have fun and stay safe everyone!



 
 
 
 
*Breaking News*

Geoff Fox has responded to his firing at Fox.  On his personal blog he writes: 

"To my friends:

As you know, I was fired by the Tribune Company/FoxCT for “inappropriate conduct.” Some of you may have seen transcripts of what were private chats on Facebook between consenting adults on my private time.

I had no idea this private conversation would be made public, but what I did was still wrong even if it had remained private.

This is a very difficult time for my family. I betrayed a trust with my wife and daughter which won’t be mended quickly. I have made promises to them I intend to keep.

Losing my job at FoxCT/Courant is also very difficult. You probably noticed I wrote about my work there with a smile on my face. I was proud to work there and proud of what we offered the public. It was the best job I ever held. I worked my butt off in gratitude.

I cannot say enough good about my colleagues and how proud I am of what we accomplished together.

I know my former bosses in Hartford and Chicago will see this. I am on my knees begging you reconsider your decision and please take me back. I am asking for another chance.

Thanks to all who’ve reached out to me via email and Twitter. Your words of encouragement and support at this very difficult time are appreciated. I hope I will be able to regain your trust.

I am grateful to you for the honor of your friendship.

Geoff Fox


I have no words for what I'm feeling right now.  I'm still in shock

Meteorologist Geoff Fox was fired on Friday by FOX CT for "inappropriate conduct".  WTIC stated that this was a personal matter and no further comments would be made at this time.  

After working 26 years for WTNH in New Haven, Fox joined the FOX CT team back in April of 2011.  In addition to doing the 11 PM daily weather forecast, Geoff did a science and technology show on the 4pm and 10 pm Friday night newscasts. 

Geoff was never shy to speak his mind and I can only wonder what really happened to cause this sudden termination.  Geoff runs his own personal blog at www.geofffox.com and updates the site regularly.  Yesterday's blog post could have something to do with it  Read it HERE.

So long Geoff.  I really appreciate your commitment to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and hope you continue to come out to those walks every year at Quinnipiac University.
