“After speaking with emergency management officials and assessing the current forecast, I am calling for the partial activation of the EOC tonight to better coordinate a rapid response to any problems that may arise during the height of the storm,” Malloy said. “Beginning early tomorrow morning, this storm is forecasted to produce very heavy snow, sleet, freezing rain and rain causing low visibility and deteriorating driving conditions. I am urging everyone to exercise caution if they must travel tomorrow.”
Update at 4:15 p.m.
The National Weather Service has just issued an updated winter storm warning for tomorrow's "significant winter storm" that calls for a another round of up to 8 inches of heavy snow, as well as one-quarter of an inch of ice.
The warning will go into effect midnight and run through to 7 p.m. Wednesday.
The snow is expected to begin shortly after midnight and then mixing with with and changing over to sleet and freezing rain late Wednesday.
"Travel will be extremely dangers due to significant show and ice accumulations," the meteorologists stated in their report.
They added that the combination of snow and ice could knock down tree limbs and power lines.
Milford Patch will continue to provide weather-related updates, including school closures and town snow emergency information, as the storm system moves into and impacts our area.
