With music by Bob Dylan, of course! Bob Dylan: "Things Have Changed" WINTER 2016-2017 WEATHER LOG Date Accumulation Notes Picture 10/27/2016 .2 Today marked the first snow of the season. Light snow began falling around mid morning and lasted until about 12:30 PM. A slight accumulation built up on grassy surfaces and trees. The snow eventually changed to rain. 11/21/16 tace A cold front blew through the state on Saturday evening, and with it some white stuff that unfortunately did not accumulate or fall much in southern CT (nw hills got the jackpot). Overnight, a snow squall did reach the Wallingford area, and left traces of snow on mulched flower beds and vehicles. I’ll take what I can get. 12/5/16 .3 Snow broke out over southern Connecticut early this morning, right around 5AM. It quickly ended around 9 as light snow and rain showers.

1/24/17 1.0 Nor'easter-high winds-rain n’ sleet.

PS: Sorry about the terrible picture. I’m busy.

1/7/17 6.5 Our biggest and baddest storm yet arrived on Saturday mid-morning, and didn’t let up until around the 10PM hour! Snow was light and fluffy. Storm wasn’t predicted to come far enough east to give CT precip until the last minute. Southeastern CT led the league in snow for this storm. So, you're wondering about our seasonal total so far? Let me satiate your thirst for weather data. We’re at 14.5 inches thus far-on pace for an average winter.
