UPDATE 12 noon — Though snow continues to fall, Darien Police report no weather related incidents, and say roads are in good shape.
Sgt. Jeremiah Marron of the Darien Police Department told the Darien Times that yesterday's warmer weather helped the roads during Friday's snow, making it harder for it to stick and freeze.
