Have about 4" on the ground here in south central CT. Been snowing lightly since about 8:30 this morning. My outside thermometer is reading 33* now, up from 26* this morning, so it must still be cold aloft. When the winds turn around from the north, the temps are suppose to drop significantly and snow fall rates should be 2"-3" per hour. We're in the 1'-2' predicted range here depending on which forecaster you want to believe, but they also predicted a changeover to mixed rain/snow during the day today, which hasn't happened. Going out for my first run about 5:30 tonight. A cab would be real nice right about now.
Going back to the '78 blizzard, I was a freshman in college. Just as the storm hit, some forward thinking guys brought a few kegs into the dorms (things were a bit more relaxed back then) and classes were cancelled for three days, so we had a three day party. Being young with no responsibilities and no place I had to be, it was fun. The dorms were co-ed too, so that, and the beer, helped the cabin fever. Oh, to be young, single and irresponsible, err, I mean without responsibilities. :laughing:
