The first snowflakes of the 2020 season are due to fly on October 30th in Connecticut.  While we agree it's too early, it's on the way nonetheless.  When is a storm something to worry about?  There are four types of winter storm warning that can be called.  

• Winter Storm Outlook
  • Winter Storm conditions are possible in the next 2-5 days
• Winter Weather Advisory
  • Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous.  When caution is used, these situations should not be life threatening
• Winter Storm Watch
  • Winter storm conditions are possible within the next 36 to 48 hours.  People in a watch area should review their winter storm plans and stay informed about weather conditions
• Winter Storm Warning
  • Life-threatening, severe winter conditions have begun or will begin within 24 hours.  People in a warning area should take precautions immediately.
