A winter weather advisory is in effect for southern Connecticut, southeast New York and northeast New Jersey from 9 p.m. Sunday night through 10 a.m. Monday morning. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches and ice accumulations of a light glaze expected.
Monday is Presidents’ Day with many off from school and work, so the snow might not have too much of an impact on commutes. Shelton schools are off Monday.
