Governor Ned Lamont has ordered all executive branch state office buildings closed to the public today due to the winter storm. All level 2 state employees who are able to telework have been ordered to telework for the duration of the storm related closures, but all other level 2 state employees whose job duties cannot be performed via telework should not report to work in-person. Following the snow that fell overnight, and snow that is still expected to fall during the normal morning commute today, the governor said he was making the decision out of an abundance of caution. The governor also strongly encourages everyone in Connecticut to stay off the roads this morning unless absolutely necessary so that plow crews can clear the roads.
