On Saturday the snow storm caused minor accidents as it brought several inches of snow to Danbury and the surrounding area.
According to the National Weather Service the highest amounts were in Fairfield County, Easton, Ridgefield and Brookfield, all with six inches or more.
The weather led to several accidents, with a tractor trailer jack knifing on Interstate 84 around 8.30 in the morning, leading to traffic delays for around two hours. The driver, who was uninjured, was given a ticket for driving too fast for the conditions.
In another accident, this time at 3 a.m., not long after the snow had begun to fall, 19 year old Karen Loor was driving on Triangle Street and her car skidded off the road and ran into a tree and a fence. She called her boyfriend, 38 year old Rafael Friere-Recuenco for assistance but when he arrived the two began to argue. He tried to leave in the car but was arrested by police. Police also then found Loor walking in the same area.
Loor was charged with evading responsibility, driving without a license and traveling too fast for conditions. Freire-Recuenco was charged with conspiracy to evade responsibility and driving with a suspended license.
