Snow Expected For Friday Commute In Hartford/Tolland Counties

It's not going to be a significant snow event at all, but the timing couldn't be worse. Light snow is expected to be falling during the evening commute, which could make travel very slick. Hartford and Tolland counties may see an inch of snow.

Fox 61 Meterologist Matt Scott‏ said "Snowfall potential isn't much, but enough to cause problems during the evening commute."

NBC Connecticut Meteorologist Ryan Hanrahan said, "Pretty sudden change to the forecast for Friday evening. Once again light and fluffy but will be a pain for the PM commute."

WTNH News 8 Meteorologist Gil Simmons said, "snow is the headline for later this afternoon and evening. Another Dusting to around 2" expected but the timing STINKS!"

More snow is possible on Sunday.
