Governor Ned Lamont has activated Connecticut’s Severe Cold Weather Protocol as a major winter storm brings blizzard conditions to the state. The protocol began Sunday at noon and remains in effect through at least Tuesday at noon to protect vulnerable residents from dangerous cold and wind. State officials say shelters and warming centers are open statewide, with transportation available for those who need it. Anyone seeking shelter is urged to call 2-1-1 or visit 211ct.org for locations and assistance.
