Blizzard Over, Winter Storm Warning in Effect for Wallingford

The Blizzard Warning that was supposed to be in effect until Tuesday night has been canceled and the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for Wallingford until 7 p.m.

The NWS urges caution for traveling due to extremely dangerous conditions and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he will lift the state’s travel ban at 2 p.m. after all state roads have received a second treatment.

It certainly looks like we dodged a bullet, with about 10-12 inches of snow reported in the area, much better than the 20-30 inches that was predicted to be dumped on the area.

The hour-by-hour outlook for Wallingford, according to weather.com, shows there’s still going to be plenty of wind (around 20 mph) but snow isn’t expected to return until 5 p.m. and when it does, it should be only light snow.

Snow showers are expected between expected between 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and that should be it for the night but it’s going to be cold with temperatures in the teens.
