Most interstates will be shut down till early Sunday most likely

 

Nah, the interstates will be fine barring a major traffic jam preventing plowing. If there is little/no traffic, its a piece of cake to keep up with. It takes well over 12" accumulated to stop a road plow.

Accumulating snow will probably be out of here early Saturday morning. There is even some partial clearing for the afternoon. The major roads will be at least passable by Sat. morning. Side roads or secondary roads may take a little longer than usual, and Sunday will bring pretty good melting.

exactly--78 had roads closed for days due the volume of cars...there won't be a soul out after dark tomorrow...

 

That's the biggest factor. Equipment will mean very little if they can't utilize it like in '78 or even back in the 12/13/07 fiasco.

Good timing on this storm to keep most of the roads clear...could be a few issues tomorrow evening's commute but I imagine most people will heed the warnings.

Usually the traffic disasters also occur in storms that come in like a wall of heavy snow. 12/13/07 did that, blizzard of '78 did that...this storm will not. We slowly ramp up tomorrow with hours of light snow before the serious stuff. People won't get caught off guard with overcast skies one minute and then 2" per hour 5 minutes later.

You don't think Malloy will shut state roads? He always does and will again. Presser either tonite or early am

 

It's stuff like this that makes me mad and embarrassed to be a CT resident.  Mass did closed their interstates in the March '93 storm but left them open in Dec '92.  It's a matter of hysteria.  Hype it up and they'll close.  Deal with it and they stay open.
