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.
