We advise clients to build in buffer time, especially during weekday rush hours, summer weekends for Hamptons-bound traffic, and during major holiday periods.

Special Weather Statement:

Snow has developed and is moving through portions of the region. It is light to locally moderate, and most steady across Southern Connecticut and much of Long Island. This will continue into the overnight. While mostly light, the snow will likely lead to some minor accumulations of mostly less than an inch over the next few hours. Visibilities will also be reduced to near 1 to 3 miles within the snow at times. Slippery conditions can be expected where any snow sticks to the surface. Motorists should proceed with extra caution and drive extra carefully, allowing for more spacing between vehicles.
