New Canaan Braces for More Snow Overnight

Just as its roads and residents thaw from the storm that closed the schools and library Monday—and sent at least one SUV through a guardrail—New Canaan is expected to get another three to five inches of snow, starting after midnight and turning into freezing rain after 12 p.m. Wednesday. If school is canceled, that would be the fifth snow day of the year, leaving just four more until the days start eating into April break. For now: February break arrives week after next and April break still is scheduled for the week of April 14. The last day of school would a half day on Friday, June 13. Something for New Canaanites to keep in mind: the so-called “Ice Missile Law” that took effect Dec.

As feared, the winter storm that landed in New Canaan overnight has prompted district officials to close school. It’s the fourth snow day so far this academic year. “The New Canaan Public Schools and offices, which includes schools, school offices, and central office, will be closed today Monday, February 3, due to the winter storm,” the district said on its website. The National Weather Service prediction for three to five inches of snow remains unchanged. Now, an additional two to four inches may fall Tuesday night as well.

New Canaan to See 3-5 Inches of Snow Monday

Update 12:15 a.m. Monday

The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for New Canaan and the rest of lower Fairfield County, with up to five inches of snow expected. “A mix of light rain and snow will change quickly to all snow just before daybreak,” the weather service says. “The snow will be moderate to heavy at times, in particular during the morning and early afternoon hours.” Though it could make New Canaan’s schoolchildren rejoice, the news likely is less than welcome for many of the district’s faculty and staff, and parents, as the public schools already have seen three snow days this academic year.

Rain and snow may be perfect weather for hardcore football fans—or any Tom Cruise fans who want to relive what prompted Stefen Djordjevic to mouth off after the Walnut Heights debacle—but New Canaan parents likely have seen enough of the white stuff for awhile.
