NORTHERN CONNECTICUT — If you love snow, then you'll potentially like this weather forecast.
The National Weather Service said there is a chance for at least some snow on Tuesday night, Wednesday, Thursday, Thursday night and Friday.
That sounds like a very long period of potential snow chances, but there are no estimates on how much the region may actually see yet.

Still watching Wednesday for rain and/or snow. Odds for snow are increasing though and it's possible this leads to the first widespread accumulating snow (inland). Hardly a lock and we could change to rain after but something to track. #fox61
