ashley baylor is a meteorologist for wtnh in connecticut, earlier she pinpointed what state the blizzard is currently in. we are still dealing with this storm. we have been tracking some bands of very heavy snow for several hours, especially in eastern sections of our state and since we are talking about that fine snow, it piles up very easily but when you factor in these heavy snow bands with winds that are blowing between 50 and 80 kilometres per hour, it causes blowing and drifting snow, so that contributes to poor visibility, poor conditions on the roads, so we have seen roads that are absolutely snow—covered. it is a tough task for our clean—up crews, our ploughs to actually keep up with this storm because this has been going on since about nine o'clock last night. so this is almost a solid 24—hour storm force. it's very difficult to keep up with mother nature in these conditions. the report by civil servant sue gray into lockdown parties
