Anyone from Northern Conn or surrounding area have any info on the pending storm coming Tues & Weds? I have to drive the Govnmt Malibu up to Windsor Conn-150 away from where I'm located for a 1 1/2 hour meeting at 10am on Weds and then have to drive back when it's done...

There is some division as to whether the storm will track inland or stay offshore. An inland track would draw mild air over the eastern Mid-Atlantic, southeast New York and eastern New England, quickly changing any snow, sleet and freezing rain over to heavy rain. Snow melt would also be a problem and could contribute to flooding. Substantial snow and wintry mix would be confined to areas from the mountains westward. If the storm stays offshore, the significant snow would develop much closer to the Eastern Seaboard while the interior areas would see only light accumulations. Strong winds, coastal flooding and beach erosion could be concerns as well.

I usually use weatherunderground.com but my travel zone usually has lots of variables. Like to know them before I may get stuck in another state...
