Recommendation
Avoid all non-essential travel. If travel is absolutely necessary, the only relatively safer morning window is between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM before the storm intensity increases. There is no safe evening window to drive, as blizzard conditions and heavy snow will make travel impossible; however, prior to 6:00 PM is marginally less severe than the overnight hours.
