1st snow in CT??

[bvibert]

Just checked the forecast, looks like the possibility of around an inch tomorrow. It's not much, and it'll be mixed with or followed by rain, but it's a start. I just like seeing the snowflakes in the forecast.

Saw flakes in the local forcasted when I checked this AM. Made me smile. We are getting close boys!

 

[bvibert]

I'm pretty giddy at the prospect.

I'm not crazy! I thought I saw some flakes when we left preschool this morning! It definitely feels like snow outside... and I'm seeing it on the map right now, so there must be some falling even though most of it isn't making it to the ground. Woohoo!

 

[Greg]

Hearing reports of snow in Newtown!

 

[bvibert]

Some blue and pink working in...

Rad, or is it Ill? I get so confused.

Anyway that's awesome! Not quite down to where I am now, but still awesome. I would be great to see some white on my way up to Sundown tonight.

It's ill. Rad is so 2008.

Flakes are flying in Watertown!

 

[bvibert]

Flakes are flying in Watertown!

Apparently being a few minutes away makes the difference. Nothing going on in this part of Watertown.

 

[severine]

Just started getting a flurry here! Woohoo!

 

[St. Bear]

Snow is starting to mix in with the rain here in Parsippany, NJ

 

[Glenn]

Saw a few small snowflakes about 30 minutes ago. Very cool sight!

 

[bvibert]

Snowing pretty heavily here now.

My daughter wanted to catch snowflakes.

You can hear them pinging off the trees though. More like sleet now, though it is still drifting down instead of driving.
