The Day After: West Hartford Recovers, Issues Post-Storm Warnings: UPDATE

WEST HARTFORD, CT — In addition to public schools, several other Town of West Hartford facilities are closed or severely limited in terms of operations on Monday due to Sunday's snowstorm.

As the recovery continues, the West Hartford Public Works Department is issuing a winter weather travel advisory due to ongoing snow showers, arctic cold temperatures, and resource limitations.

Road conditions may be slippery and will remain unpredictable, changing without notice.

• Drive with extra caution until conditions improve.
• Reduce speeds and avoid sudden braking.
• Increase the following distance between vehicles.
• Use added care when turning or changing lanes.
• Allow extra travel time.
