Did you get snow overnight?
- Yes, I can't believe it

The snow was winding down in the morning, but the wind remained. Fairfield County could see sustained winds of 40 mph with gusts of 58 mph, which is strong enough to knock down tree limbs and power lines.
High temperatures Sunday will be stuck in the 30s with wind chills in the teens. Sunday night, temperatures will drop into the 20s with more snow possible overnight.
A freeze warning is in effect from 8 p.m. Sunday until 10 a.m. Monday. The freezing temps will kill sensitive plants if not protected and brought indoors, the National Weather Service warns.
