Updated: Roads Slick, Use Caution

Ledyard police are responding to calls for cars off the road but so far today nothing serious, said a dispatcher with the police department.

Shewville Road seems particularly slick, the dispatcher reported, but motorists throughout town should use caution while driving.

Ledyard Schools are closed today as the region gets yet another covering of snow. The Ledyard Parks and Recreation Department also has canceled programs for the day.

Ledyard Police Lt. Mike Finkelstein said there was one minor traffic accident at 6:30 a.m.

The dispatcher at the Connecticut State Police Troop E Barracks in Montville reported a quiet night, but noted at 5:30 a.m. that I-95 was starting to ice up. "It's getting bad out," she said. Since then police have been kept busy with minor calls.

The National Weather Service is reporting freezing rain and snow early this morning changing to rain this afternoon, with total accumulations of 1 to 3 inches of sleet and snow. Icy conditions are likely, with temperatures around the 30 mark.

Tonight will be cloudy with rain in the evening, then a chance of rain with a slight chance of freezing rain after midnight. Northeast winds around 10 mph, becoming north after midnight. The chance of precipitation is 90 percent. 

Stay tuned for updates and additional cancellations.
