Here's how much snow fell in Connecticut on Saturday
The storm dropped two inches of snow in Stratford, as of 8 a.m., and Newtown, as of 10 a.m. In Shelton, weather observers reported 1.8 inches of snowfall as of 8 a.m., according to reporters from the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail and Snow Network.
Along the western edge of the state, the storm dropped 1.3 inches of snow in New Preston and an inch in New Milford by 9:15 a.m., Frank Nocera, a meteorologist in the National Weather Service’s Boston office said. Further south, the Bridgeport area received a 0.4-inch coating, according to weather data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Nocera said the National Weather Service should have more data available as snow continues to fall Saturday. He said Connecticut’s totals should stick between a coating and two inches.
Snow began falling overnight and was set to create slippery conditions on the roads Saturday. Electric utility customers reported hundreds of outages in the state Saturday morning, but their cause was not immediately clear. The weather service has said the snow should fade in the afternoon as drier conditions close out the weekend.
