Snow Possible on First Day of Spring in Granby

It looks like it really will be snowing on the first day of spring.

The National Weather Service is predicting 2-3 inches of snow for some parts of the state, but thankfully Hartford County only has a 50 percent chance of snow.

The exact amount of accumulation is still very much up in the air, but it is expected that the coast will get the brunt of the minor storm.

WFSB 3 TV Meteorologist Scot Haney writes that snow or a wintry mix will develop by Friday evening. He wrote two models show just very light snow or a wintry mix, but one model shows a “more robust storm.”

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons wrote Wednesday morning that the wet snow will begin in the afternoon and evening hours on Friday and a few inches of accumulation is possible especially the closer to the shore you are.

Here is the Hartford county forecast from the National Weather Service:

Friday Mostly cloudy with a 50 percent chance of snow. Cold with highs in the mid 30s. South winds around 5 mph.

Friday Night Cloudy with a 50 percent chance of snow. Patchy fog. Lows in the upper 20s.

Saturday Partly sunny with a chance of snow. Patchy fog. Not as cool with highs in the mid 40s. Chance of snow 30 percent.
