“I’m really stressed out and tired. I’ve cleaned my windshield off like three times already on the way back. It’s super icy, slippery. I’ve seen three accidents already. So, just want to kind of get home,” says Melissa Blake, Newington.
With several inches of snow falling in Milford, plow crews tried to keep up. Traffic at one point crawled at 20 miles an hour. After this relentless winter, drivers should be qualified to be pros in the powder.
“You would think. But a lot of people getting stuck everywhere,” says Scott McNamara, Woodbridge.
It was common across the state. On I-91 North in Meriden, a car ended up off the road. It’s just another reason why many people are saying enough.
“Winter can just go. I don’t want it anymore,” says Blake.

Michael Tucker has shoveling down to a science and his optimism is about as high as the snow banks.
“I’m used to it. I’m used to it. You got to if you’re going to live in this part of the world you have to tolerate this and try to find joy in it somehow,” says Tucker.
