CONNECTICUT — It's already snowing this morning and the question remains how long will it snow for and how much accumulation will we get. Here are some key answers via an hour-by-hour forecast which you can see below.
While we were sleeping there were a few more changes to the snowy forecast. Heavy snow is still forecast, but snow estimates have dropped a bit as more ice is expected to mix in late Monday and during the overnight hours on Tuesday.
Heavy snow will fall throughout the state until Monday night and the afternoon hours will feature the most snow accumulation. The majority of the accumulating snow ends before midnight and then there will be some light icing from midnight until sunrise Tuesday and then a chance for some snow showers before the precipitation ends for good Tuesday afternoon.

Gov. Ned Lamont issued a travel ban on certain tractor trailers. Effective at 5 a.m. on Monday, the order bans:
- All empty and tandem tractor trailers from traveling on Interstates 84, 91, and 95.
- All tractor trailers from traveling on Interstate 84.
The order is being done in collaboration with neighboring states that are implementing similar travel restrictions during the storm and excludes those providing emergency supplies necessary for response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including vaccines, testing supplies, and medications, Lamont's order states. It will remain in effect until further notice. State officials also cautioned that coronavirus vaccine appointments will likely be canceled on Monday and anyone with appointments should call first.
Updated totals are impressive. Regardless of the total in your town, this is not a day to be out and about unless it's an emergency - limit travel and stay home with the fam on this Monday and enjoy the snow! Full coverage ALL DAY on @fox61news pic.twitter.com/gHJ9QhwVW5

One area where we expect the least amount of snow to fall will be in north central Connecticut from BDL through Somers. Downsloping winds from the Worcester Hills will create a precipitation shadow and result in less snow in the valley. May be a localized min in a few towns. pic.twitter.com/bxjBDfNFFc
