Recommendation
Avoid driving if possible. If travel is necessary, early morning before 9:00 AM presents lower precip probabilities (35-47%), though conditions remain marginal; for the evening, there is no safe window as heavy snow and blizzard conditions intensify, but before 3:00 PM is significantly less hazardous than later hours.
