Officially A Killer Storm: 5 Dead In Connecticut, Travel Ban Lifted

DANBURY, Conn. (CBSNewYork) — A travel ban was lifted in Connecticut after 24 hours of orders to stay off the roads, but cleanup was far from over Saturday afternoon following the blizzard that left at least five people dead, and more than 3 feet of snow in some parts of the state.

On Saturday night, Gov. Dannel Malloy submitted a request for a presidential emergency declaration.

“As we continue with the recovery from this historic winter storm, I am asking the federal government to provide us assistance with this process,” Malloy said. ”If granted, this declaration would provide much needed help to our state.”

“Stay off the roads,” is still the message in the Nutmeg State. Parts of Connecticut were covered in dozens of inches of snow early Saturday, as a travel ban remained in effect until being lifted at 4 p.m.

A state of emergency remains in effect statewide.
