Hartford, CT -- A winter weather advisory is in place for northern Connecticut until Monday night.
Hartford, Tolland, Windham and Litchfield counties are under the advisory until 8 p.m.
Schools posted delays as a result. See the list here.
Later, a freeze warning goes into effect for the immediate shoreline from 8 p.m. Monday through Tuesday morning.
Monday's storm caused all kinds of traffic incidents around the state, including the closure of the Gold Star Bridge between Groton and New London. Spin outs were also reported up and down Interstate 91 and on secondary roads.
"After the morning snow/mix, we'll see a lull through midday with rain/snow redeveloping [Monday] afternoon," said meteorologist Mark Dixon. "If the redevelopment is widespread, there could be an impact on the evening commute."

The snow started around 3 a.m., according to meteorologist Scot Haney.
"Just like [Sunday], the snow is heavy and wet," he said.
Accumulations will be highest in northern Connecticut. Four to 6 inches is possible near the northern border.
A coating to an inch is expected to fall along the Interstate 95 corridor and 1 to 4 inches will fall through much of central Connecticut.
Addition accumulation from Monday afternoon's rain/snow redevelopment could be possible, according to Dixon. It would be especially prevalent across inland Connecticut where temperatures remain cold enough.
Haney said the storm is moving at a much slower pace than Sunday's storm.
"The track of the storm will be close enough that a little bit of its warm sector will move across Connecticut during the midday hours, producing a switch-over to an icy mix Inland and plain rain for the shoreline," he said.
The shoreline will see the transition fairly early, likely by mid-morning. Interior Connecticut will see it happen later and it'll last for a shorter time. Along the Massachusetts border, it could last a few hours.
"As cold air comes back into the area as the system continues to move east, any mix or rain will transition back to snow before tapering off [Monday] evening," Haney said.
Unlike Sunday, the state won't see high winds.
"Nevertheless, heavy snow on limbs can be enough for them to crack under the weight and take power lines with them," Haney said.
The storm should be gone by late Monday night.
In its wake, however, will be another gusty blast of cold air. Highs will struggle to make it out of the 30s, despite any sunshine on Tuesday.
Wind chills will make it feel like it's in the teens and 20s.
Wednesday looks to be slightly warmer with highs in the 40s.
The state should remain storm-free until Thursday.
Dixon said that's when another system arrives with rain and potential thunderstorms.
