Connecticut residents are preparing for a mixed bag of winter weather on Thursday, February 6, as forecasts predict between 2 to 4 inches of snow alongside sleet across the state. As winter storm warnings are issued, the National Weather Service anticipates icy conditions will complicate travel, particularly during the morning commute. The heaviest precipitation is expected to hit early, with rates of 1 to 2 inches of snow per hour possible, according to meteorologist Mike Hoss. In addition to snowfall, a significant layer of ice is anticipated, raising concerns about road safety and power outages. Governor Ned Lamont has urged residents to take precautions, stating, ‘If you don’t have to be out, stay in. The safety of our residents is our top priority.’ To manage the impacts of the storm, Connecticut has implemented parking bans in several towns including Hartford, New Haven, and Stamford, which will remain in effect until the storm subsides and roads can be cleared safely. Local agencies have prepared snow plows and salt trucks to respond to the expected accumulation and icy conditions. Residents are advised to stay informed through local news and municipal advisories as the storm unfolds.
