CT Wind, Rain and Snow Totals for 3-2 Nor'easter
A nor'easter brought flooding rain, powerful wind gusts and some snow to CT. Here are the town-by-town wind, snow and rain reports.
The nor’easter that pummeled Connecticut on Friday definitely lived up to its hype. It dropped several inches of rain and produced hurricane strength winds in some locations. Even some places saw accumulating snow. As of Saturday morning, more than 42,000 Connecticut residents are still without power.
The good news is that the weather will be largely tranquil this weekend with temps into the mid 40s Saturday but winds will still gust up to 40 mph at times. Sunday is sunny and temps in the low to mid 40s and again it will be windy at times with gusts reaching 20 mph.
In looking at the data compiled by the National Weather Service, Sharon was the big winner with snow accumulation as that town received 6 inches of snow. Not a lot of towns received accumulating snow.
