Governor Lamont announced that due to an updated weather forecast showing that the current stretch of brutally frigid conditions Connecticut is experiencing will continue for at least another day longer than anticipated, he is extending the duration of the state’s severe cold weather protocol to remain in effect until NOON on Saturday, January 25.

The protocol went into effect on January 19 & had originally been set to expire on the afternoon of January 24.

Shelters & warming centers are open throughout Connecticut. Anyone in need of a place to stay warm can be directed to nearby locations by calling 2-1-1 or viewing the list of available options published online at 211ct.org. Transportation can be provided to a shelter or warming center if needed.
