HARTFORD, Conn. — Parts of Connecticut were digging out from almost 2 feet of snow Sunday after a strong winter storm hit the state Saturday.
The eastern section of the state took the biggest hit from the storm, with blizzard conditions reported in New London county Saturday. Norwich got 22 inches of snow, Groton and New London 21.5 inches and Moosup 24 inches, according to Gary Lessor, chief meteorologist at Western Connecticut State University’s weather center. A parking ban is still in effect in Norwich until Monday at 2 p.m. so snow may be removed from the streets.
State police responded to 1,200 calls for service Saturday, including 90 motor vehicle accidents and 208 calls for disabled or abandoned vehicles or debris in the road. There were no serious injuries or fatalities.
