CONNECTICUT — It was nice to see some festive light snow on the ground on Christmas Eve as some places saw three inches of accumulation. The next storm system arrives late Friday and continues in the morning hours of Christmas. A winter weather advisory is in effect for all of Connecticut except along the immediate coast where just plain rain is forecast. In Hartford, Tolland and Windham counties, the weather service issued an advisory from 1 a.m. until 10 a.m. Christmas Day. "Mixed precipitation expected. Total snow accumulations of up to one inch and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an inch." A winter weather advisory has been issued for inland sections of southern Connecticut from 10 p.m. Friday until 9 a.m. Christmas morning. "Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations of a light glaze to a few hundredths of an inch." And in Litchfield County, a winter weather advisory is in effect from 10 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Saturday. "Freezing rain expected. Total ice accumulations of a light glaze to around one tenth of an inch." Along the Interstate 95 corridor, rain is expected around midnight and rain is forecast for much of Christmas Day. Up to a half-inch of plain rain is forecast. The weather is much better on Sunday with sunshine and temperatures around 45 degrees. It looks like rain is forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday.
