Recommendation
Prefer 9–11 AM EST for morning travel and 6–8 PM EST for evening travel today; both windows have 0% forecast precipitation and temperatures above 40°F. Check road conditions, especially early this morning. Complete trips today rather than delaying into tomorrow: avoid nonessential travel during the storm window beginning at 4 AM February 22, with potential deterioration from 3 AM.
