EAST HAVEN, CT — East Haven Public Schools, East Haven Adult Education, and Overbrook programs will be closed Tuesday.

From East Haven Mayor Joseph A. Carfora:

We are expecting a winter storm beginning at 3AM on Tuesday morning and lasting through the day. The worst of the storm is expected to be from 6AM Tuesday morning through 11AM at 1-2 inches per hour. As of now the snow is expected to continue until around 5PM on Tuesday accompanied by wind at 35 MPH.
Commutes are expected to be difficult and possibly hazardous in these conditions. We recommend that residents not leave home unless it is an emergency.
Accumulations could be as much as 8-14 inches of heavy wet snow. A parking ban will be in place from the beginning of snowfall. Trash pickup for tomorrow is cancelled.
Please be patient during this storm and clean up, the workers are doing the best they can during these difficult conditions.
If you lose power and rely on a generator make sure it is far away from your home.
Thank you and have a good night.
