New Canaan Roads Turn Nasty on Weekend

NEW CANAAN – Many residents have skipped town for undoubtedly warmer environs. Even so, for New Canaanites who remained behind for this winter break, the tune of “Winter Weather Advisory” is a familiar one from the National Weather Service. The area is supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow accumulation with wind gusts of up to 40 miles per hour on Saturday. With temperatures dipping below freezing at sunset, it could make for some hazardous Saturday night travel on the roads with black ice becoming an issue. As of now the main roads – including Oenoke Ridge and Route 123 – are in decent shape, as are the downtown streets.
