CT Weather: Here's How Much More Snow Is Still Expected
This was an odd storm as southern parts of the state saw several inches of snow while northern parts have hardly received any yet.
CONNECTICUT — Several inches of powdery snow fell in southern Connecticut Thursday and some more accumulation is still possible.
NBC Connecticut chief meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan said the state will see some light snow through Friday, which will add an extra 1-3 inches of snow on top of what has already fallen.
The National Weather Service said the snow may end as a brief period of ice on Friday, which will be less than ideal for travel conditions.
