Light Snow May Sweep Through Shelton In Time For Afternoon Commute

FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. — is it too cold to snow? Nope. Temperatures will "heat up" across Fairfield County on Friday — from the teens into the mid-20s anyway. And there's a good chance of a light snowfall just in time to mess up the commute. 

There's a 50 percent chance of snow for Friday across Fairfield County — but just an inch or two is expected.
