Variable forecasts for upcoming storm

The upcoming storm appears to be a difficult one to forecast as there are fairly wide variances among at least some of the forecasters.

WFSB appears to be predicting more of an ice/mix storm, although the vagueness of the forecast with respect to snow depth appears to at least suggest the possibility for a bigger storm.

WVIT predicts "snow and ice accumulations of 5 to 10 inches inland with 4 to 8 inches at the shore are possible. Higher amounts are posssible north and west of Hartford depending on the exact track of the storm."

WTNH predicts ranging from 1-3 inches in the SE corner, 3-5 inches southeast of Hartford, 5-7 inches in the Hartford and NE part of the state, and 7-10 inches in the NW corner.

FOX 61's forecast is similar to WVIT's: 2-4 inches tonight with 5-10 inches total accumulation.

The National Weather Service, at present, appears to predict 9 to 15 inches total accumulation for the Avon area

Accuweather predicts 4-8 inches for the Avon area.

Snow Depth Readings

Thus far this season we have had two major snowstorms in Connecticut. I will be keeping a log of snow depths from these storms, and I will also provide recordings from my father and brother from other towns in the area.

The first storm was recorded as 11 inches by all three of us. The storm from last week was measured as dumping 4 inches in Avon and West Hartford.
