Storm of the Century Watch (Northeast Division)

Winter is not going quietly in Connecticut.

Here's what we Nutmeggers have to look forward to over the next 36-48 hours:

RAIN WILL CHANGE TO A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND SNOW THIS EVENING...EVENTUALLY TURNING TO ALL SNOW AFTER MIDNIGHT TONIGHT. ONLY LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED BY FRIDAY MORNING...BUT HAZARDOUS DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FOR THE EARLY FRIDAY MORNING COMMUTE AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING. A MODERATE TO OCCASIONALLY HEAVY SNOW IS EXPECTED TO RE-DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. THE SNOW MAY MIX WITH SLEET FRIDAY NIGHT. THE POTENTIAL FOR 6 OR MORE INCHES OF SNOW AND SLEET EXISTS... BEFORE ACCUMULATING SNOW END SATURDAY MORNING

And here I went and gave up shoveling for Lent. Time for the three Padawans to earn their keep.

Yips! from Robbo: Thunderstorms today and tomorrow in Your Nation's Capital, followed by a bit of snow Friday night before it all moves off. I was going to go out and deer-proof the garden this weekend. Now? Think I'll stay indoors and start seedlings.
