Connecticut hit with strong winds, foot of snow in some areas, bringing transportation to a halt

HARTFORD, Conn. — A winter storm dumped more than a foot of snow on parts of Connecticut on Saturday, blanketing roads and halting transportation across much of the state.

As of late Saturday afternoon, state police had received 731 calls for service Saturday and responded to 66 accidents, four of which involved serious injuries, Max Reiss, a spokesperson for Gov. Ned Lamont, said. Three vehicles had been cited for violating the state’s ban on tractor trailer trucks during the storm.

Despite fear of mass power outages because of the storm, the state experienced no major issues in that area, with Eversource reporting only about 200 outages in total over the course of the day, Reiss said.
