The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning starting Wednesday night at 6 through Saturday morning at 6.
Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible and with winds gusting as high as 55 mph, blizzard conditions will also be possible with extreme cold wind chills as well. Wind chills as low as 30 to 40 below will be possible.
Plan on slippery road conditions. Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches. The dangerously cold wind chills as low as 35 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.
Uncertainty remains on snowfall totals, but impacts from the combined effects of the wind and snow are expected. Thus, blizzard conditions will be possible. This will also lead to difficulty when gathering accurate measurements of snow during the event. This will be a long duration event, so plan appropriately prior to the start. Plan travel around peak hours of the storm, either before or after impacts.
