Key Factors
- 01 The active Winter Storm Warning forecasts 8–16 inches of snow, gusts up to 40 mph, possible snowfall rates over 2 inches per hour, blowing snow, and whiteout conditions; travel may become very difficult to impossible.
- 02 The warning is effective through February 22 at 4:00 AM EST in the alert data; its description forecasts the storm beginning Sunday at 4 AM, so onset timing is unclear from the supplied data.
- 03 Hourly forecasts show generally dry conditions through midnight, but the overnight daily forecast gives a 30% chance of rain and snow, with temperatures near freezing.
- 04 No road-condition or visibility observations are provided, and the alert's area coverage may not establish whether the driver's exact location is included.

Recommendation
If travel is necessary, the comparatively safer morning slot is 8:00–11:00 AM EST and the evening slot is 6:00–8:00 PM EST, when the hourly forecast is dry and temperatures are above freezing. These are relative windows, not a guarantee of safe roads; check current local road conditions and the alert's applicability before departing, and avoid overnight travel as rain/snow chances increase.
