Massive Collision in Connecticut - Thousands Inconvenienced


A typical New England air collision

The collision is a common one in Connecticut;  Freezing air from Canada meets warm, wet air from the Gulf of Mexico.   

Tuesday afternoon there will be snow.  Expect that some after-school and evening events will be canceled.

There is one more chance to clear snow off buildings, as tonight’s rain will be the final straw for overburdened roofs.

The snow will change to ice and freezing rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.  As of Tuesday morning it looks like it will be all rain by sunrise on Wednesday, but ice and road flooding produce about a 50-50 chance of a late school opening Wednesday.  No matter what, traveling to work on Wednesday will be a mess.  Be prepared and allow extra time.

The rain will change back to freezing rain, sleet, and snow Wednesday night and into Thursday morning.  It is still too early for exact timing, but the water on the roads and sidewalks will have frozen solid overnight.  I will update this later, but right now I see a chance of school closings.
