CONNECTICUT — It looks like this is really happening. In an updated statement, the National Weather Service said it continues to expect most of Connecticut will see a foot or more of snow beginning late Wednesday afternoon or early evening and ending midday Thursday.
The one major change in the forecast since last night is that the weather service has now issued a winter storm warning for the coast of Middlesex and New London counties and upped the projected snow totals there to 10-13 inches. Yesterday, it was thought that warmer temperatures may flip the snow to sleet which would have reduced snow totals but that has changed, though the weather service said there is still some "uncertainty" about the forecast there.
As for the rest of us there is no uncertainty. We're going to receive a lot of snow, likely a foot or more.
