Snow started falling just before noon Tuesday and state police are urging people who have to drive to slow down and keep an extra distance from other vehicles as they respond to dozens of crashes.

The amounts of snow aren't expected to be a lot, but it will coat the roads just in time for the evening commute and could cause slick conditions.

A heavy burst of snow made roads in Hartford slick. Interstate 91 northbound was closed at exit 27 due to a multi-vehicle crash Tuesday evening.

The snow will will be light to moderate in intensity by tonight.
