GUILFORD, CT — A major snowstorm is still battering the region Monday morning, and several road closures are being reported in Guilford.

Guilford police are reporting a tree down across the road with wires in the 200-block of Durham Road. A tree is also down across the road with wires in the 100-block of Nortontown Road.

Interstate-95 Southbound between Exits 57 and 56 was previously closed due to a crash this morning but the highway has since reopened.

"The roads are extremely snow-covered and visibility is very low due to the high winds. If you don’t absolutely have to go out, please stay home to allow crews from DOT and DPW to clear the roads," Guilford police wrote in a Facebook post.

Nearly 1,000 Guilford residents are without power as of 10:30 a.m. on Monday.
