Sunday in New Canaan: Clear Skies, Light Wind, Sledding

New Canaan came through the winter storm remarkably well, with just one notable accident that knocked out power for a few hundred homes Friday.

 

After the nightmarish aftermaths of Irene, Snowtober and Sandy, when outages lingered and dozens of roads closed for days, New Canaan survived the winter storm some were calling 'Nemo' remarkably well, officials said.

Led by Mose Saccary, the town's veteran road crew did its work, businesses and organizations closed for part of the weekend and officials such as Fire Marshal Fred Baker and Emergency Management Director Mike Handler stood by at the ready.
