Unpredictable Snow Storm on the way
**** First Call Snow Map *****
We say First Call because god only knows this storm will bite us in the butt and make us look like fools. But as of now this is what we are seeing. Could it be less?? Yes… could it be more?? highly unlikely. These totals are on the slightly higher side due to the complexity of this storm.
Timing is still a tough call but most of us will be asleep when the heaviest if you want to call it that of the snow will fall. It looks to last into the morning hours in the West and Central parts of the state. It holds out a bit longer in the East.
School delays will be expected especially in Central and Eastern CT. There may be some delays in the West towns but only as a precaution. Look for cancellations in Eastern CT and maybe some over protective school officials in Central CT.
This will be the heavy wet type snow so we could see some power lines and tree branches come down especially in Eastern CT causing some power outages.
Thats all for now we will follow up later on today. Enjoy the Sun while it lasts. It is much cooler outside and the temps will drop as the day goes along.

K-9 Graduation
A graduation for K-9 was recently held at Fairfield Police Department for Fairfield, Trumbull, Derby and Seymour. Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara said K-9’s make our department better. First Selectman Michael Tetreau agreed, citing K-9 Ruger’s at his retirement ceremony a few months back. K-9 Ruger had to retire over health issues. Frank Reda from Superior K-9 said the benefit is teamwork, that each town will share the dogs and the same training allows police K-9 to “plug and play”, that is each officer and K-9 knows what is expected.
The graduates were Fairfield Officer Kevin Wells with K-9 Jager, Fairfield Officer Evan Kaesmann with Maverick, Trumbull Officer Richard Carlson with Cyrus, Trumbull Officer Gregory Lee with Storm, Seymour Officer Matthew Butler with K-9 Rex and Derby Ambulance Rescue Firefighter David Lenart with K-9 Ponch.

Is winter over?? The Weatherdogs chime in…
That maybe the questions asked to us Weatherdogs over the next few days but our answer is a big fat NO! You will start to see a lot of hyping and chatting going on with other weather sources about what some may call a huge storm for next week… but this is what we can tell you as of today.
A model consensus and almost total agreement as of this morning is showing us that all the ingredients for what could potentially be a good sized East Coast Storm for next week will be in place. Now before we get bombarded with questions it is way too early to do much of any type of forecast. There will be changes every model run over the next 5-6 days. We will have a nice little break in the winter weather action to recharge our batteries. For our landscaping and DOT friends take these next 5 days to rest up, fix and clean up any equipment that might need it.
Next Wednesday and Thursday is the time frame as of today. If we were to show you the model output for snow totals it would be an injust and not fair. Just know we are closely monitoring the potential for a storm mid to late next week.
For all our weather geek friends… yes that’s you.. yes you the one who just stopped reading our post and went and looked at the model snow fall potential please take those model images for a grain of salt. There will be plenty of changes to those pretty colors on the map in the next 5 days.
We are closely monitoring the potential for a storm. Please follow us on Facebook at Valley Shore Weatherdogs for more up to date information and posts!
Have a great day! Tom and Kevin
