HARTFORD, Conn. — All executive branch state offices are closed to the public Tuesday as the nor'easter rolls through Connecticut, Gov. Ned Lamont announced. A public hearing - under the legislative branch - is also canceled.

This means some employees have the day off or can work remotely, while essential workers should still report to work.

Level 2 state employees are asked to work remotely if their jobs allow; level 2 state employees whose job duties cannot be done remotely are asked to not come to work.
