Winter Snow Photos around New Canaan [Feb. 2 Storm]

By |

New Canaan Public Schools will operate on a 2-hour delay Tuesday, officials say. Most of New Canaan came to a halt Monday, as heavy snowfall interspersed by freezing rain created hazardous driving conditions, forcing the schools, library and many downtown businesses to close. Town Hall and the police department offered limited walk-in services as those motorists forced to drive around town fishtailed and skidded on most local roads. Police late Monday afternoon on Twitter urged residents to say off of the roads as conditions deteriorated rapidly with falling temps coinciding with heavier precipitation. New Canaan saw snowfall of about seven inches through Monday afternoon, with an additional two to four inches expected at night. The National Weather Service has put the area under a Winter Weather Advisory through 1 a.m. Tuesday.
