Recommendation
Avoid driving today unless it is an emergency. No safe morning window is indicated; 6:00–11:00 AM EST is especially dangerous due to heavy snow and blowing snow. If travel is unavoidable, the relatively safer evening window is 9:00–11:00 PM EST, after the warning expires and snowfall probability drops to 3% or less, but blowing snow, ice, and poor road conditions may persist; carry a winter survival kit and stay with your vehicle if stranded.
