Greenwich Holiday Road Warriors -- Switch Thanksgiving Travel Day to Tuesday or Thursday, If You Can

By Jaimie Cura.

Most areas of Connecticut could see five to eight inches of snow, with the exception of towns in New London County and northeastern Connecticut, Meteorologist Gil Simmons said.

The safest option for travel is to switch to Tuesday or postpone until Thursday, he said.

Check out the map below for Simmons’ snow accumulation predictions. The meteorologist stressed that these totals are part of an early forecast.

“This is one to prepare for,” Simmons said in his mid-Monday forecast.

The present forecast shows that all snowfall should end by 6 a.m. Thanksgiving morning, according to WXEdge’s Kevin Arnone.
