Winter Storm Warning Continues; Pothole Problems

Very cold temperatures continue for Connecticut as a winter storm blankets the state through this evening. A Winter Storm warning remains in effect until 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. Three to ten inches of snow is expected to fall---with higher amounts in the eastern and southern part of the state. Gov. Dannel Malloy has activated a network of agencies to help at-risk people find shelter. Anyone in need of shelter can call – 211-- which is the state's information line. As cold weather returns to Connecticut potholes around the state are unavoidable. Jim Mahoney from the Connecticut Transportation Institute says unfortunately, every road is susceptible. Crews will continue to do cold patching for the next few weeks, until temperatures rise enough to allow for permanent road fixes in the spring.
