3. Wednesday night and thursday night: temps should plummet to single digits in the outlying areas for overnight lows, especially where snow covers the ground. Daytime HIGH temps Thursday and Friday will hover around 29-30 degrees, with wind-chill values in the teens.

4. Mainly precip free period, but have to watch for a storm threat over this coming weekend.

5. Mid-month warm up looking likely, as wintry pattern relaxes. However, a  rejuvenation of winter should start anew by 1/20.

6. Below are the Saturday 12/29 snowfall amounts: Compared to the forecasts, most places were close or even went over, but north of NYC. Coastal sections underperformed, while eastern CT got slammed!
