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,

Thursday’s sloppy morning precipitation has come and gone, but a Winter Storm Watch is already in place for our next round of wintry weather on the way this weekend. For snow lovers, this could be a good one!
