A mixed precipitation storm led to hundreds of school closings across Connecticut on Thursday. The snow began falling in the morning hours and was expected to leave as many as four inches of accumulation in most parts of Connecticut before changing over to a wintry mix by the early afternoon hours,

A winter storm is expected to bring snow followed by a wintry mix including freezing rain that could make for dangerous road conditions, weather officials say.

The CT DOT has pre-treated roads throughout the state but still encourages residents to stay home until the winter weather concludes, if possible.
