- 03 Temperatures fall to freezing by 5:00 PM and below freezing later, increasing the risk of snow-covered or icy roads.
- 04 Tonight has a 100% precipitation probability, 15–21 inches of new snow possible, and northeast wind gusts up to 46 mph.
- 05 Blowing snow may significantly reduce visibility; snowfall rates could exceed 2 inches per hour and cause substantial drifting.

Recommendation
Avoid driving today unless it is an emergency. If travel is unavoidable, the relatively safer morning window is 6:00–8:00 AM EST, before the warning begins and before precipitation intensifies, though mixed rain and snow are still possible. There is no safe evening window; avoid travel from 6:00 PM through midnight due to heavy and blowing snow, freezing temperatures, and strengthening winds. Carry a winter survival kit and stay with your vehicle if stranded.
