Winter Storm Targets Cheshire: Trash/Recycling Changes, Parking Ban And More

CHESHIRE, CT — Cheshire is bracing for a major winter storm that's expected to bring heavy snow to the region beginning on Sunday and stretching into Monday.

Southern Connecticut is expected to get between 8 and 14 inches, with locally higher amounts possible. Sleet may mix in with the snow in southern areas of the state, reducing the total accumulation, the National Weather Service said. Coastal Connecticut is expected to get the lower end of the range.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for southern Connecticut from late Saturday night through Monday afternoon.
