Part 1
Off the accuweather.com site...
Well our snowicane is really weak and is continuing to weaken as the morning goes on... NYC, this has been officially the snowiest month on record in over 100 years! Baltimore has had officially over 80 inches of snow this winter season... This shows just how powerful not only this February was, but also this one single storm... Monroe, NY picked up 3 feet of snow! Even my home town, which had all rain on Thursday, picked up around 10 inches of snow... Now what else is going on with the "snowicane" right now? Well its still spinning over the extreme eastern portion of Long Island and as a said before... It's weakening very quickly. Never the less, we are still finding moderate banding across the northern CT areas, all of MA, most of eastern NY, and even scattered snow showers into PA... These will continue to spin clockwise and become more scattered... They're so scattered that there is a very good chance that every area north of the Virginia area should see at least some flurries... In these moderate banding's, do not be surprised if you see 1-3 maybe 2-4 quick inches of snow... Also do not be surprised if all of a sudden the sun comes out like it is currently doing in my home town. According to the satellite radar imagery, this is just a short gap that should shortly go over to either some clouds or flurries... As this storm weakens, it is actually spreading its moisture... The storm is now officially spreading its moisture over 1,900 miles! Snow from just west of Chicago all the way to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, from a low that is just to the WNW of Long island... We will continue to see this spreading of moisture and clouds and snow showers and spinning and 1-3, 2-4 inches all the way until Monday!!!! This storm is a very slow mover... Sadly it seems Tuesday will be our only day of snow before the possibility of another snowstorm!!!...

Part 3
Yes, the big question is... Is there more snow on the way?... Well the answer to that is YES... Now the details are still coming in on this storm, but as of snow it seems it has a better chance of hitting the mid-Atlantic states... So North Carolina, Virginia, Into DC and Baltimore this may be your storm... Yes, according to Henry Margusity, this may be another BIG DADDY! That would add to the 80+ inches we have had in Baltimore!!!! I will be posting a snow threat map, which means I'm just going to show where the potential for light snow, moderate snow, and heavy snow... No snowfall map yet! My 12:00 PM update will have the much more detail on this upcoming snowstorm...
Part 4
Westport Weather...
Map of Westport, CT
A good Saturday to everyone, i hope you are all enjoying the snow we had and may still have to come... I have yet to go outside and measure just how much snow has fallen in the Westport, CT area... i am assuming it is between 8 and 10 inches of snow... maybe more, maybe less... There is a good chance that we find some flurries later today and into tonight... This storm is pretty much just circulating off the coast of Long island just to the West which means snow is still circulating around this storm...
The snow right now is off to the north, east, south, and west, so we are kind of in a small break... even the clouds are breaking across Westport, so do not be surprised if when you wake up this morning you see the sun outside... sadly i believe that the sun will slowly begin to become covered by clouds again. We may not see it again until Tuesday since there will be the threat of at least some flurries over the next 2 or 3 days... After that we get set up for the NEXT STORM... This storm will happen between maybe after midnight on Tuesday into before sunrise on Thursday... So just a heads up for those of you who have plans on Wednesday... For now it seems this storm will stay far enough to our south that we will only see a couple snow showers with some light winds and small accumulations... Now if the storm can get its act together we may have a different story... We may actually have the threat for school problems on Wednesday whether its a delay, cancel, or early dismissal i will be sure to keep you updated! That's it for now... enjoy the snow!!!!

BREAKING NEWS: WARNING: Very sad news that Chile has reported an 8.8 magnitude earthquake... One of the highest every recorded in history... a couple hundred people have sadly been reported dead...

The really very scary news is that tsunami reports have already happened around the Chile Area, but, these watches and warnings go all the way up the Mexico western border line and now into the California and Oregon area... Watches and warnings have also been posted across the Alaska area and Hawaii... This is very scary and real.
