Snow Emergency Remains In Effect In Norwalk: Update

NORWALK, CT — The city remained under a snow emergency Monday night, as Norwalk officials warned that the worst of the snow storm is yet to come.

"Plowing operations began early this morning, and will continue throughout the day and night as the storm continues to build in intensity," Norwalk officials wrote on Facebook.

A winter storm warning remains in effect in Fairfield County and the state until 6 a.m. Tuesday, and Gov. Ned Lamont issued a travel ban on certain tractor trailers. He also urged Connecticut residents to stay at home if possible.

Before it is over, the storm could dump 18 inches of snow throughout much of the state.

In Norwalk, City Hall, the libraries, schools and other government buildings and offices were closed Monday and will remain closed Tuesday. Schools will be on a remote instruction day on Tuesday.
