You may have heard us refer to him as "Jack-on-the-Reels" and he is real, really good.

We spoke to Jack Drake on our sister station on Wednesday (12/14/22) about the upcoming snowstorm. Jack told us to expect the following:

• The storm will take place on Thursday, into Friday
• Thursday afternoon we can expect increasing clouds and it will be extremely chilly.
• Precipitation is estimated to break out around 7 pm or later on Thursday (12/15/22).
• There will likely be some snow at the onset, especially in the hills and points North.
• Around midnight we're likely to see a wintry mix with some rain.
• Jack is not calling for a ton of accumulation, instead projecting 1-3 inches.
• He expects the accumulation to be heavy and sloppy for anyone shoveling.
• The hills, upper New Milford, Kent, points North could see significant accumulation, with as much as 8 inches possible.
• Friday, there is potential for rain all day with a potential for a brief switch back to snow in the evening.
• Jack forecasts dry, clear conditions for Saturday and Sunday.

Listen to Jack's condensed report about the snowstorm coming to the Greater-Danbury area below. NOTE: This was recorded yesterday (12/14/22) so when he says tomorrow night, he is referring to tonight.
