Recommendation
Do not drive today except for emergencies. If you must travel, restrict driving to the afternoon window between 2 PM and 4 PM EST when precipitation drops below 40% and conditions are marginally less severe. Avoid the morning commute (6-10 AM) when heavy snow and 28-29 mph winds create the worst blizzard conditions. Do not drive in the evening commute. Carry a winter survival kit, keep extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle. Call 511 for latest road conditions before any travel attempt.
