Some snow squalls moved through Connecticut on Thursday after a storm brought several inches of snow to the state, which led to school delays and some closings.

Snow squall warnings were issued for Fairfield, Middlesex and New Haven countiesuntil 12:30 p.m.

The snow squalls came after an Alberta Clipper system brought several inches of snow to parts of Connecticut.

That led to lots of school delays as well as some closings.

Snow started around 7 p.m. Wednesday and continues through much of the morning before dwindling down.

Some elevated areas of northern Connecticut have received four, five six, even up to eight, inches of snow before the compacting.

Here's a look at some of the snow totals:

  • Bakersville: 5.8 inches
  • Bridgewater: 5 inches
  • Lisbon: 5.5 inches
  • New Fairfield: 3.2 inches
  • Roxbury: 5 inches
  • Seymour: 4 inches
  • Tolland: 7 inches
  • Wolcott: 8 inches

The snow led to some slick spots and issues on the roads.

There are also several power outages.

Eversource was reporting nearly 15,000 power outages, with most in Stafford and Mansfield. The number dipped to around 6,000 as of 1 p.m.

It will be very windy later Thursday and gusts up to 35 to 45 miles per hour and a few isolated power outages and tree damage are possible.

A wind advisory is issued for Thursday and Thursday night.

Freezing temperatures later tonight will bring ice and icy patches.

Friday will also be cold and windy with gusts up to 30 miles per hour.

The feels-like temperatures will be in the teens and 20s.

The weekend will be fair.
