Motorists should especially beware on untreated or elevated surfaces because road conditions could change rapidly. Drivers should slow down as a precautionary measure. Pedestrians should also be careful on walkways and steps.

The area is blanketed by snow from the weekend nor'easter, which dropped over a foot of snow on Greenwich and Stamford and up to a foot of snow in towns along Long Island Sound up to Stratford. Snow measuring 6 to 10 inches fell from Wilton north to Newtown and New Fairfield.

The low temperature overnight will be 22 degrees under partly cloudy skies.

Tuesday will dawn partly sunny, but there is a chance of showers, mainly after 3 p.m., with a high near 41 degrees.
