People say this car lost control in the snow, slid into the fence above and flipped over, landing below on its roof. The driver was transported to the hospital. No official word on condition. #Norwich #CTWX #Ctweather #crash @NBCConnecticut #NBCCT pic.twitter.com/MrOHC1L2d3

What's Next?
Once the snow ends around midnight, it will be sunny and warmer on Sunday with temps in the low 40s but it will be windy.
It will only be 30 degrees on Martin Luther King Jr. Day but it will be sunny. Tuesday will be even colder with temps only in the upper 20s and temps only around 30 degrees on Wednesday.
It starts to moderate slowly on Thursday with temps into the upper 30s and we finally exceed 40 degrees again on Friday.
There are no snow or rain chances in the forecast next week, at least for now.
