Southwestern Connecticut Digs Out After First Major Snowstorm of the Winter

Southwestern Connecticut is digging out after more than one-half foot of snow blanketed much of the region late Friday into early Saturday morning.


New Fairfield hit the jackpot in Fairfield County with more than nine inches of snow. Sherman, Newtown, Wilton, Trumbull, New Canaan, Weston, and the Bridgeport climate station at Sikorsky Airport measured at least seven inches of snow.


Wallingford topped New Haven County snow totals (10.5"), while Naugatuck, Meriden, Waterbury, and Cheshire each received at least eight inches of snow.
