DARIEN Stay home if possible is the message from Darien’s Police Chief Donald Anderson.
“Hot chocolate with bacon and eggs at home this morning is far superior to a potential trip to the body shop and completing insurance paperwork later in the week,” he said.
Darien police are expecting the real brunt of Monday’s winter snowstorm to come through as the day continues.
“Roads are pretty slick in spots; I saw quite a few crinkled fenders on I-95 on my way in this morning with many motorists simply traveling too fast for conditions,” Anderson said.
