A new system started in the Midwest Monday, but tracks into the Northeast today. It is an Alberta clipper, meaning the storm originates from Alberta, Canada. Usually these systems are very weak, and don’t drop a lot of snow, but this one is a little different. This storm is going to transfer it’s energy to a newly forming coastal low, and drop a widespread light to moderate snow accumulation. By the time this storm really gets going, it will already be moving away from the coast of New England, and it will be moving too fast to really unleash its full fury on the northeast. Here in Connecticut, the snow will start around 8 or 9 am an last until 4 or 5 pm. it will be a tough call for schools, because of the start times, but i imagine there will be a good amount of closings and early dismissals around the state. Drive safe and take it slow out there! -SS
