Winter Storm (Feb. 05, 2014)

Greetings!
All of Connecticut is currently under a Winter Storm Warning. Based on the present forecast, we will be impacted by a significant winter storm over the next 6-18 hours.

From 3-10 inches of snow is expected across the entire state. Sleet, ice, and freezing rain are also likely in the southern/coastal counties.

I am raising the CT ARES activation status to Level 1 Alert effective at 0600 (6:00 AM) EST tomorrow, Wednesday, 5 February 2014.

Please maintain good situational awareness as this storm develops by watching/listening to your preferred weather forecast sources.

Please be prepared to assist our Served Agencies (if requested) by ensuring your radio batteries are charged, vehicles and generators are fueled, etc.

The safety of you and your family should be your highest priority! Now is the time to make preparations to keep your family safe should you be asked to deploy.

Remember, you should NOT deploy without direction from the appropriate ARES or local official.
