WEATHER UPDATE: Snow and Ice Accumulation Prediction Made for New London

The National Weather Service is predicting there will be precipitation falling for the next 18 hours or so and all we’re expecting to receive is an accumulation of 1-3 inches of snow, and a quarter inch of ice accumulation.

The National Weather Service has posted a Winter Weather Advisory for the area and states in its bulletin, that a light mix precipitation will develop today and grow steader this evening and continue into Monday morning before ending late Monday.

This appears to be more of a nuisance storm as the ice accumulation will clearly be the biggest threat.

And of course the heaviest accumulation is predicted for early Monday, which could impact Monday’s commute to work.

But there is some good news once we get past this latest storm, there appears to be no new snow chances as of right now in the National Weather Service’s seven day forecast through Saturday. Of course that can always change too.
