Connecticut Braces for Major Blizzard as State of Emergency Declared
Governor Ned Lamont has ordered all executive branch state office buildings closed to the public on Monday due to the impending winter storm, designated as Blizzard Calvin, expected to bring nearly 2 feet of snow and strong winds across Connecticut. A statewide blizzard warning has been issued, prompting the governor to declare a state of emergency and enforce a travel ban starting Sunday. Residents are urged to prepare for hazardous conditions as stores see a rush for supplies and numerous municipalities announce early closures and parking bans. The storm is projected to disrupt power, with hundreds of thousands potentially facing outages and significant delays in restoration. As the storm approaches, travelers are advised to stay off roads, while airlines at Bradley International Airport adjust their schedules accordingly.
