“Confluence” usually describes the intersection of two rivers but in this weekend’s case, we’ll apply it to the two weather systems that will soon be intersecting in our region — an Arctic mass (white along top) swooping down from the northwest and a rainy snowy gusty mess (bright green) coming at us from the southwest. Their meet-up will produce what we’ll call “The Blender Effect”. Hang on to your hats, southwestern Connecticut!

Once we get through this weekend’s wintry weather, you think next week’s going to be any better weather-wise or n the greater Fairfield area? Guess again!

Just one (tomorrow) of the next six days will be above Feb’s average high of 41F and only one day (also tomorrow) will be above the average low of 28F. In fact, this coming week will be harshly colder than usual. In Connecticut, we call this Second Winter 🤣

WHAT A FEAT!! Great work Earth Animal Westport, customers and local businesses that supported EA’s Mitten Project benefiting Connecticut Foodshare and the people in need that it serves! 🎉 😊 👍🏻

“Our warmest thanks to all the wonderful and generous local businesses, our friends, family and customers that participated in the Mitten Project 2024, especially for their big hearts and generosity. We are elated that we reached our goal of $75,000 (over 150,000 meals) which will be used to feed local families in need.” - Dr. Bob, Susan, Merritt, & Abbey Goldstein

A formal check presentation is scheduled to take place on Wed., Feb. 26 at Earth Animal’s Retail Store, at 925 Post Rd East, Westport, CT, celebrating all the generosity. The public is invited to attend.

The Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts at Fairfield University invites you to a stompin’ good time: Krakauer & Tagg’s Good Vibes Explosion, set for Thurs., Feb. 20, at 7:30pm!

When renowned klezmer clarinetist David Krakauer and South African pianist and composer Kathleen Tagg found an opportunity to escape their Manhattan apartment and head to a farm in the Adirondacks for a few weeks early in the pandemic, they seized it. Two weeks turned into three months, and a new project – Good Vibes Explosion – was born. Responding to the sad condition of the world, they created a musical celebration of our shared humanity. Their first album from the project, Mazel Tov Cocktail Party, offers an exuberant, high-octane mix of dance music, blending square dance, polka, hora, calypso, hornpipe and hip-hop. It’s a stew pot of pure joy.

$25 | $5 Fairfield University student

Over the next 48 hours here in the greater Fairfield area, we’re really going to get everything weather-wise AND the kitchen sink. It all starts around 3-4pm today (Sat. Feb. 15) with snow ❄️ through 10pm, 2-3 inches anticipated. The precipitation will change over to freezing rain ☔️ 🧊 and rain and carry on through the overnight into Sunday, with about an inch of rain in total. The combo of the rain mixing with the new snow and temps that will climb to almost 50F on Sunday will create water pooling and flooding in low-lying areas, especially along the shore where tides will also be higher than usual. 🌊 THEN wind 💨 kicks in, with gusts up to 31mph Sunday afternoon, gusting higher to 50mph Sunday night and up to 46mph President’s Day Monday. The combo of saturated ground and high wind may bring down old trees (certainly there will be broken limbs and related tree debris) which will create power outages. ⚡️ In fact, the latter is almost certain. Honestly, be prepared for anything!

Our weekend storm has not only materialized but is quickly rolling our way, currently dropping snow (pink) in Ohio and western West Virginia and just breaching western Pennsylvania as MyRadar image shows. There’s a good block of moisture (bright green) behind it but the speed of the storm suggests a burst of snow versus a long-duration event. We’ll look at NWS predictions now for comparison.

As of 5:30pm Friday, the NWS has updated its weekend forecast, reducing anticipated snow accumulation from 2-6” to about two inches total on Saturday (starting at 5pm), and up to just an inch of rain on Sunday. With this kind of fluctuation, we’ll be sure to give you another update in the morning as the system grows nearer.

Southport Harbor Widening Project 1/13/24
Southport Harbor Widening Project 1/13/24

“A monstrous tripod, higher than many houses, striding over the young pine trees, and smashing them aside in its career; a walking engine of glittering metal, striding now across the heather; articulate ropes of steel dangling from it, and the clattering tumult of its passage mingling with the riot of the thunder." It was easy to imagine that the steel hulks we sighted were of the other-worldly tribe of metallic beasts described by H.G. Wells in his timeless thriller “The War of the Worlds”. But, in fact, they were the sentinels of the Army Corps of Engineers lording over the mouth of Southport Harbor, clawing at the channel, drawing out decades of silt and mud, and adding their claims to an ever-growing mound on the east bank of the narrow passage. #southportharbor #wideningproject #southportct #dredging #fairfieldhamlethub
