WEATHER UPDATE: Light Snow Thursday, More Snow on Valentine's Day, and Sub-Zero Temps for Branford

On Tuesday morning, there was talk the state could be hit with up to six inches of snow on Thursday, well a lot has changed in a day.

Now the latest information shows that the state is looking at just a coating to a maximum of 2 inches tomorrow, says Bob Maxon in an email to Patch.com. Maxon is an NBC Connecticut meteorologist.

While we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief that Thursday’s snow will be nothing more than a nuisance that doesn’t mean we’re out of the woods, not at all.

Maxon says Friday will be cold and windy, and then the next chance for accumulating snow is on Saturday afternoon and into Sunday morning. This latest storm could impact your Valentine’s Day plans.

“Snow possible Saturday afternoon into Sunday AM....looks like 2”-4” is likely, but a 5 or 6” total would totally surprise me. These “clipper” systems are never easy to nail down 4 days out,” Maxon tells Patch.com.

And while we’re not talking about huge snowstorms, we’ve clearly run out places to put it, and venturing outside from Friday through Tuesday is not going to be fun, Maxon explains.

“Coldest temps? Impossible to nail....but Monday AM looks coldest. -10 seems possible at Bradley International Airport, -5 in Hartford, -2 in New Haven and -15 or more in Colebrook/Norfolk/Falls Village,” Maxon writes.
