ConnDOT: I-84 a stubborn area for us

UPDATE: (WTNH) -- John Carey of the Connecticut Department of Transportation said "it could be better" on the state's highways, but the snow doesn't want to stop coming.

"84 pretty much from Vernon to the Mass. line has been a stubborn area for us," Carey said in a live interview on News 8 at noon.

"This heavy snow band doesn't seem to want to stop coming into the state, especially in the northeast corners."

More than 800 DOT trucks and private contracting trucks are out working the roads.

(WTNH) -- On Good Morning Connecticut Friday, we spoke with Jeff Adams of the Connecticut Department of Transportation about the big trouble spots in the state as of 6:15 a.m.
