A winter storm brought rain, snow, and a wintry mix to Connecticut, leading to hazardous icy roads and school delays. The first measurable snowfall of the season, primarily in northern Connecticut, prompted early plowing efforts. However, dropping temperatures overnight created dangerous icy conditions, especially on untreated surfaces, raising concerns about black ice and refreezing. State roads are generally clear, but side streets remain sloppy, and authorities are monitoring conditions to prevent refreezing. Several schools across the state have announced delayed openings, with delays ranging from 2 hours to partial openings in the morning. Drivers are advised to reduce speed, be vigilant for black ice, and prepare emergency kits. The Connecticut Department of Transportation has deployed hundreds of plow trucks to manage the road conditions, and officials emphasize caution for both drivers and pedestrians amid the ongoing cold snap and potential for additional snow and ice.
