Connecticut Snowfall Totals: Jan. 28, 2013
Generally light snow overspread Connecticut from west to east during the morning on January 28th. Snow continued into the early afternoon and at the same time, warmer air moved in aloft. A change to sleet and freezing rain occurred from southwest to northeast, with portions of the I-95 corridor changing over to plain rain.
Precipitation tapered off to intermittent drizzle with freezing drizzle across much of the interior by early evening.
Snowfall totals were fairly uniform with most areas picking up 1 to 2 inches. The I-95 to I-395 corridor and points southeast generally received less than 1 inch of snow. A quicker changeover in lower Fairfield County may have also led to slightly lower snowfall amounts. Some of the hilly terrain of northwestern Connecticut picked up a little more than 2 inches of snow.
I usually do color contoured maps as well, but I'm not sure it's really necessary for a relatively minor event.
If you have any totals to add or ones that don't match up, please let me know. Sources include this forum, the National Weather Service, social media reports, WXedge.com, the Conn. Dept. of Transportation and CoCoRaHS.
