Part 4: Westport Weather...
Part 1:
Yes it looks like everyone has now changed over to the snowier scenario. This includes Accuweather.com, Weather.com, and most of the models. It seems that this small band of heavier snow will run right along the I-95 corridor right Boston... As for the Long island it is likely you you will find lighter amounts... Now when we talk heavy, it really not "heavy" especially with what a lot of you have had lately... Most areas in this "heavier snow zone" will see 1-3, with locally 4 inches of snow... Now you may be saying that this is the same snowfall forecast from yesterday but its really not... The reason it appears the same is because i have to put one or two inches still because there is a small chance the models could switch back but its not very likely. It is more likely you will see more 3 and 4 inches of snow along I-95. The more inland you go the less snow you will see so this storm is really more of a nuisance. Now if we take it down south to the NC and the SC area there will likely be more snow. Actually as you make your way inland and toward the mountains don't be surprised if you see 3, 4, 5, maybe as much as a half a foot of snow. I have heard reports that even Atlanta got a coating to a couple inches... Speaking of Atlanta i believe they are now close to braking the record of one of the snowiest winters. Even reports to the further south and west of Atlanta have some kind of snow. Now i know everyone is sick of hearing snow so let's talk about the spring that's seems like it is never going to come!
Part 2:
Well its a similar story to yesterday and i suggest you check out yesterdays blog for the spring section because it will have more detail. You can already tell that there is more of a spring pattern beginning to form storm wise... The paths of the storm are beginning to slowly change which is a good sign. Also there will be "a spring trick" coming up. Early next week it seems a lot of I-95 will see 50's and inland of there mid and upper 40's. But do not be fooled because it will not last long. Winter will return again.
Part 3:
Well just some quick odd news about the earthquake... It seems that the earthquake was so strong it actually shortened the length of our days... But barely... I believe it altered our days by about 2.7 milliarseconds which i think is still pretty crazy... For more info go to...

Part 4:
A good evening to all in Westport! Kids should be getting a bit more excited but not too much. I changed the percentage for a delay up to 60%... 35% chance of nothing... and 5% chance of no school... Looking at the forecast i think it would be a good idea to have a delay tomorrow since i am officially putting 2-4 inches of snow in the forecast. So i believe we will have some rain and snow beginning after midnight and by 3 or 4 AM it should be all snow but all should be very light... Snow accumulations will be little by morning and will range from nothing to a coating or maybe an inch... By 6 or 7 AM things there may be a period of heavier snow and will last no more than an hour or so, but that's where you'll get most accumulation... By late morning and into the afternoon the snow will become wet and mix with rain... Again light accumulations will take place... Lighter snow showers will take place Wednesday night and into Thursday morning where as of now i say there is a 35% chance of a delay... But that could change so as always stay tuned!!!!
