The blizzard which swept through Connecticut on Tuesday resulted in a travel ban but fewer accidents than forecast.
According to the governor there were only 11 accidents with one minor injury on state roads during the blizzard. He said that a city plow collided with a utility pole in Middletown which led to the road being closed and a power outage which affected hundreds of people. However, most of those people had service back within a few hours.
Metro North services were cancelled until trains could move safely between Grand Central Terminal and New Haven.
In New Haven, the Office of Emergency Management reported 12 plus inches of snow, with 240 cars being towed for parking ban violations, but apart from that it was quiet. In East Haven there were 12 to 15 inches of snow, with crews working round the clock to clear roads.
Drivers throughout the area abided by the travel ban, which made a major difference to the number of accidents. However, travel remained dangerous due to the winds blowing the snow and reducing visibility.
