March may go out like a lion.
Just as daylight savings time pushed clocks forward adding an hour, for more daylight on Sunday evening, and just as daffodils are pushing out of the ground, the National Weather Service is urging residents to prepare for a potential Nor’easter.
The NWS Blizzard Watch* for Southern Fairfield County goes into effect on late Monday night, continuing through the day on Tuesday and into the Tuesday evening.
The forecast is for 12″ to 18″ of snow, along with possible sleet and rain.
The temps will be in the upper 20°s and impacts will include dangerous travel and potential for power outages due to damaging wind gusts possibly across eastern Long Island and extreme Southeastern CT.
*A Blizzard Watch means there is potential for falling or blowing snow with strong winds and extremely poor visibility which can lead to whiteout conditions and made travel very dangerous.
