Connecticut Schools And Colleges Close Monday As Nor’easter Hits

Most Connecticut schools and colleges are closed today as a powerful nor’easter brings heavy snow, high winds, and blizzard conditions statewide. Forecasters say parts of the state could see up to two feet of snow, with wind gusts topping 50 miles per hour and travel conditions becoming dangerous or impassable. Governor Ned Lamont has declared a state of emergency and banned commercial vehicles from highways as the storm peaks. Power companies warn outages are possible and restorations could take days in some areas.
