Gov. Ned Lamont said the travel ban on empty tractor trailers and tandem tractor trailers on Connecticut's limited access highways has been lifted.

"The storm is winding down, however the roads are slick and crews are clearing them. Stay home if you can and if you need to go out drive slow," Lamont said.
