Nor'easter bears down on Connecticut

(WTNH) - Only nine days after powerful superstorm Sandy slammed the state, another coastal storm is now impacting the state.

With an array of Winter Weather Advisories, High Wind Warnings and Coastal Flooding Warnings in effect around the state, residents are getting ready for yet another storm.

As of Wednesday morning, several communities across southern parts of the state have reported a light mixture of snow, sleet and rain. Light snow began in New Haven shortly before 10:30 a.m.

With temperatures above freezing, roads are expected to remain wet, not white, as precipitation overspreads the state throughout the day.

Snow and sleet are forecast inland, but rain can mix in at times closer to the shoreline. Some grassy surfaces may whiten up by early afternoon where snow is falling.

As the day wears on, heavier precipitation is expected to move in and winds will pick up as well. This could lead to isolated power outages, especially near the shoreline. Coastal flooding is also another concern at the time of afternoon high tide.
