Make sure you have a plan in place for fall clean up and snow removal this winter as El Niño continues to strengthen and weather is still so unpredictable. We are currently taking requests for fall clean ups and snow blowing, but get on the list early as schedules will fill up fast.

YOU ASKED FOR IT, SO HERE IT IS THE 2026/2027 WINTER WEATHER REPORT FROM Connecticut Weather And News :
Hi folks,let’s get ready for winter in Connecticut!
My report will focus on the things that matter most to you: snowstorms, possible nor’easters, bitter cold, ice, winter weather alerts, and the latest from Connecticut weather and news.
OCTOBER · WINTER OUTLOOK
El Niño is strengthening
The latest reporting says the chance of a historically strong El Niño has increased. Connecticut's early outlook leans warmer and wetter, but snowfall remains difficult to predict.
November 2026: First winter threats
Snowstorm potential
Cold snaps
Possible overnight freezes and early-season chill
Mixed storms
Rain, wet snow, or a wintry mix
A significant early snowstorm is possible.
December 2026: Holiday snow watch
December is when I'll be paying close attention to the potential for more disruptive winter storms.
Nor’easters Coastal storm tracks and whether cold air reaches inland Connecticut
Accumulating snow Storms arriving after colder air settles in.
January 2027 — Peak winter monitoring
Keep an eye on coastal low-pressure systems, nor’easters, icy roads, and possible snowstorms. This is a monitoring window, not a prediction that a major storm will occur..
February–March 2027 — Late-season surprises
Winter weather can persist into March. Watch for late snowstorms, freezing rain, rapid temperature swings, and possible flooding when snow melts or heavy rain falls.
My preliminary winter assessment:
Overall temperatures Leaning warmer than normal
Precipitation Seasonal outlook favors wetter conditions near New England..
Snowfall total Too uncertain to quantify responsibly
Major snowstorms Possible, timing and number unknown.
Nor'easters Worth monitoring throughout winter
Ice and mixed precipitation A meaningful concern during marginal-temperature storms
White Christmas
Too early to assess reliably
The main takeaway is that a milder winter does not necessarily mean a snow-free winter. Eastern Connecticut could still experience one or more disruptive snowstorms if cold air and a favorable coastal storm track coincide.
Here are the three storm scenarios:
Scenario A: A major snowstorm
A coastal low strengthens near the Mid-Atlantic and tracks offshore, drawing cold air into Connecticut. If the storm track and temperatures line up, eastern Connecticut could see substantial accumulating snow, gusty winds, and difficult travel.
Scenario B: Snow changing to sleet or rain
A storm tracks too close to the coast, bringing warmer air inland.
Snow may change to sleet, freezing rain, or plain rain. This is a key uncertainty during a winter that may lean warmer and wetter.
Scenario C: A powerful coastal nor’easter
A strong storm could bring heavy precipitation, damaging wind gusts, tree damage, and power outages. Coastal flooding is more important along the shoreline, while inland eastern Connecticut can face heavy precipitation, wind, and dangerous roads..
What could happen month by month?
November First accumulating snow, early cold snaps, and overnight icing.
December Snow-to-rain changes, first disruptive winter storms, and holiday travel.
January Midwinter cold outbreaks, coastal lows, and possible significant snowfall
February Nor’easters, heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain.
March Late-season snow, mixed precipitation, and snowmelt flooding...
Estimated snowfall by region:
Shoreline 15–30 inches
Central Connecticut 20–40 inches
Eastern Connecticut inland 25–45 inches
Northwest hills 35–60 inches
