Because of the storm, the Metropolitan District’s boat launch at Goodwin Dam-West Branch Reservoir in Hartland, West Hartford Reservoir at 1420 Farmington Avenue in West Hartford, and Reservoir #6 off Route 44/Albany Avenue in Bloomfield were closed Friday morning. The facilities were re-opened Friday afternoon.
Accumulating snow tapered off around 2:30 p.m. for most areas of Connecticut. By the evening commute, you should see just flurries.
Isolated power outages are possible from the combination of wet snow accumulating on trees and power lines and gusty winds. Wind gusts of between 45 and 55 mph are possible along the shoreline Thursday morning.
