Quick Moving Snowstorm Cancels New Canaan Classes for Monday
The brunt of the storm is forecast to impact communities along the coast.
By Gary Jeanfaivre and Barbara Heins
The New Canaan Public Schools and Offices, which includes schools, school offices, and central office, will be closed today, February 3, due to the winter storm.
The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the region — including southwestern Connecticut and Fairfield County that went into effect at 5 a.m. Monday.
The advisory will remain in effect until 7 p.m., Monday, Feb. 3, as a quick-moving storm is expected to dump up to seven inches of heavy, wet snow. The brunt of the storm is predicted to arrive early Monday morning. With winds in the 10 to 15 mph range, visibility will be no more than a half-mile during the storm, according to the NWS.
The snow will taper off from west to east during Monday afternoon and end by early evening. The wet snow may add extra weight to tree branches and power lines, potentially causing isolated power outages, according to the NWS.
Punxsutawney Phil predicted more winter Sunday and that's exactly what we'll see this week, beginning with snow on Monday.
Tuesday will bring mostly sunny skies, and then there's a chance for another wintry mix Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.
