Key Factors
- 01 The Blizzard Warning text specifies 10 AM February 22 through 6 PM February 23 EST, although the alert's structured end timestamp conflicts with that window.
- 02 Heavy snow begins around 3 PM; blowing snow starts around 6 PM, with precipitation probability reaching 100% by 7 PM.
- 03 Temperatures fall to 32°F by 5 PM and 31°F by 9 PM, increasing the risk of slippery, snow-covered or icy roads.
- 04 Forecast snowfall is 1–3 inches during the day and 15–21 inches overnight; warning snowfall rates could exceed 2 inches per hour.
- 05 Overnight gusts up to 46 mph and blowing snow threaten visibility and vehicle control. Numerical visibility and actual road conditions are not provided.

Recommendation
Postpone nonessential travel. Morning: 6–8 AM EST is the least hazardous available slot, with lighter winds and a 35–39% chance of rain and snow, but it is not guaranteed safe. Avoid driving from 10 AM onward, especially after 3 PM. Evening: no safe slot is supported; do not drive during 6–8 PM EST or later as heavy snow and blowing snow intensify. Restrict travel to emergencies, carry a winter survival kit, and stay with your vehicle if stranded.
