The first significant snow storm of the year will dump several inches across the state.
“We can pick up an inch an hour for awhile,” WFSB Meteorologist Scot Haney said.
According to Haney, it will take two to four hours to cover the whole state. The heaviest of the snow came late Monday night and into early Tuesday morning.
"Seven to eight inches not out of the realm of possibility," Haney said for the shoreline and inland. "Six to 10 inches for the northwest hills."
Haney said the storm will wind down later in Tuesday afternoon.
“By 5 p.m. it’s pretty much done,” Haney said.
This might not be the only storm this week, however, as according to Haney, another storm system is moving in for Friday.
“Friday night there could be some snow around here that lingers into Saturday morning,” Haney said.
Haney said Sunday will have some snow showers late in the day as well.
According to WFSB, only 10.4 inches of snow has fallen this year, which has the state in a deficit of 29.9 inches in the Hartford area on average.
According to WFSB, Bridgeport has only seen 1.1 inches, which puts them 24.0 inches below normal.
After the storm Monday and Tuesday, Wednesday will be “mostly” quiet, according to Haney and Meteorologist Jill Gilardi.
“Skies will be partly sunny to mostly cloudy and temperatures will be seasonal in the low 40s,” Haney and Gilardi said.
According to Haney and Gilardi, a weak system will push in for Thursday morning but will only bring rain with it.
