While the rain, and sleet, and hail for some, was beneficial for the dry ground, it is the worst thing possible for a record lover (if there's even anyone that likes to see extreme records set) - just on the very last day of the month, well below average temperatures are experienced with heavy rain that moved this March from the driest on record to the 4th driest on record, and still dropping down the list - meanwhile, if temperatures stay like this through the day, this March will also lose the potential to be the warmest March on record (source: AmericanWx).

Then just a Trace to couple inches in varies spots northern Tier of state. CONNECTICUT ...LITCHFIELD COUNTY... NORFOLK 3.4 WINSTED 2.0 BAKERSVILLE 1.2 ...TOLLAND COUNTY... TOLLAND 1.9 STAFFORDVILLE 1.0 COVENTRY 0.8

That report of 0.8" is from me at 6:30am, but it snowed some more after that time so it's about 1" for a snowfall total here, maybe a slight bit more. The snow started at 4am and it stuck almost right away, but it just never fell very hard and ended early.

So looking back at this.. You tell me. Looks like GFS was right with a pocket of dry air at mid levels and surface making for Light snow 8am?
