Schools across Connecticut are delaying classes on Wednesday following a mix of snow, rain and ice that covered the state.
The Wednesday morning commute could be icy in some parts of the state. The National Weather Service said some areas could experience black ice or patches of ice that can't be seen easily.
A period of freezing rain Tuesday afternoon resulted in a glaze of ice over snow in parts of interior Connecticut, the weather service said in an alert.
"Drivers are urged to take extra precautions, including driving at speeds dictated by conditions and leaving extra space between vehicles," the weather service said.
Parts of northern Connecticut saw up to 4 inches of snow on Tuesday. A winter weather advisory was in effect for much of the day across the state. Tuesday's weather closed schools and made commutes treacherous across Connecticut.
After morning snowflakes, late afternoon brought a mix of snow, sleet and rain across the northern and central parts of the state.
Much of central and northern Connecticut recorded at least 2 inches of snow on Tuesday. Areas along the coast saw 1 to 2 inches.
Icy spots were likely Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, Connecticut Public meteorologist Garett Argianas said. Plan for extra travel time, he said.
Tuesday's weather led to slick roads, snarling traffic and leading to accidents across the state. A tractor trailer hauling 40,000 pounds of bananas rolled over on Interstate 95 in Stonington. One person had minor injuries. And in North Haven, a tractor trailer was spotted hanging off an overpass.
