A Nor'easter aimed at Connecticut today is already delaying openings across southwestern Connecticut due to icy road conditions. Though temperatures are going to remain slightly too high for snow, we will see 3 inches of cold rain and sleet through the day.
The National Weather Service has posted a number of watches, warnings and advisories includng the following:
- A winter weather advisory is in effect until 9 AM for northern Fairfield and New Haven counties due to freezing rain causing icy road conditions.
