Key Factors
Recommendation

Generally safe to drive with normal precautions. Specific guidance: avoid unnecessary travel if roads are untreated early morning (06:00–12:00 local) when air temperatures are 21–29°F and wind chills are lowest; if you must drive then reduce speed, increase following distance, watch bridges/overpasses for ice, and be prepared for gusty crosswinds (especially if driving a truck, trailer, or high-profile vehicle). Monitor local road reports and updated forecasts before late-night travel (after 01:00 local) when a chance of light snow begins. Because visibility and road-surface data are not provided, check local conditions before departure.
