Recommendation
Avoid all non-emergency travel throughout the day. If driving is absolutely necessary, the relatively safer morning window is 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM as heavy snowfall rates begin to ease, and the safest evening window is 8:00 PM - 10:00 PM after the Blizzard Warning expires, precipitation stops, and wind speeds decrease.
