HARTFORD, Conn — A winter storm with heavy, wet snow led to hundreds of school closings, canceled flights, and thousands of power outages across parts of Connecticut on Tuesday morning.
Gov. Ned Lamont, who ordered all executive branch state office buildings closed during the nor’easter, called the storm a “unique winter storm” that will see big differences in snowfall depending on where people live.
“Some towns may receive significant snowfall total, while others may receive a fraction of that around or maybe even just rain,” he said.
So how much snow has fallen so far?
According to the National Weather Service, upwards of 11 inches of snow have been recorded in Granby and Hartland – with more coming down throughout the day. Winstead has seen more than 7 inches.
Most of the snow has concentrated north of Interstate 84 and in the northeast and northwest hills.
Manchester and Coventry have recorded more than 2 inches of snow, with multiple other municipalities including Vernon, Columbia and Andover nearing that mark.
More snow totals:
Granville, CT – 11.3 inches
Granby, CT - 11.3 inches
West Simsbury - 10 inches
Canaan, CT – 8.5 inches
Norfolk, CT – 8.6 inches
Suffield, CT - 5.5 inches

Periods of snow are expected to continue through the day and into the evening Tuesday, which could be when some of southern Connecticut gets into the action with snow accumulating more readily in the evening.
The snow is expected to wind down as the evening continues with flurries and light snow showers continuing into early Wednesday morning.
