Round 2 of snow will taper this evening; icy roads remain a big concern

Falling temperatures will lead to dangerous driving conditions through Monday morning

Our finals push of moderate to heavy snow has begun this afternoon as our storm starts to pull away.

The end of the snow is back west across CT right now, and so our end times here at home will range from 5-9 pm from west to east.

Our forecast snow accumulations verified for the most part across the area, with highest amount in northern and western Rhode Island – around 6-9″.

Because of the wet snow and some mixing with sleet/rain this morning, much of what was picked up did compact a little this morning – so final ground totals south and west will be lower than what was picked up cumulatively from the storm.

Roads are beginning to ice over across the area with temperatures rapidly falling back below freezing, so please use extreme caution through Monday morning.

Temperatures warm up into the 50s by midweek, but a potent rain and wind storm – coupled with snow melt – could put another strain on our area rivers.
