Ice Floes Create Potential for Jams, Flooding in Connecticut

The potential for ice jams on the Connecticut River prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood warnings on Sunday, January 14. The river had already surpassed flood stage on Sunday night in the Hartford area, a news report said.

Ice jams on the Housatonic River triggered flooding in Litchfield County and prompted roads to be closed over the weekend, a news report said.
