You may not have been on the Post Road today. But Nick Hooper was. Here’s what he saw.
At 11:30 this morning — before high tide — water was already creeping over Canal Road. Ice, too. (Photo/Westport Police Department)

Canal Road is closed due to flooding. Police warn of potential flooding elsewhere in town.
Meanwhile, Cross Highway and Prospect Road were closed due to downed trees and wires.
More rain is forecast for tomorrow — but temperatures will rise to about 71.
The weekend — and Memorial Day — could be cloudy, with temperatures hovering around 70.
That’s okay. After last year’s rainout, we’re ready for a parade.
Weather or not.

There’s a lull in the storm right now. But if you haven’t been out and about, here are a few scenes from opposite ends of town. Click on or hover over photos to enlarge.
