Winter Storm in Southern New London, Connecticut

A trained spotter reported 7.5 inches in Mystic during the early afternoon on the 7th. The public reported 6.4 inches at Ledyard Center, 6.0 inches at 2 SSE Gales Ferry, 6.0 inches at 1 N Mystic, and 5.0 inches at 2 SSW Groton before accumulating snow ended. A trained spotter also reported 4.0 inches at 1 S New London indicating a possible sharp cut off from east to west with regards to the heavier snowfall, while windy conditions likely made measuring difficult. Lesser amounts of 2 to 4 inches were reported across the western half of the zone for the most part.

A low pressure system developed offshore along an arctic cold front. A trough feature developed and extended west from the intensifying offshore low that enhanced snowfall across far eastern portions of the county warning area, specifically the eastern half of New London County, CT where heavier snow occurred and wind.
