Key Factors
- 01 The Blizzard Warning headline and description specify an expiration of 6 PM EST, despite inconsistent structured alert timestamps; travel is restricted to emergencies only.
- 02 Heavy snow is forecast from 6–11 AM EST, with snowfall rates of 1–3 inches per hour or more and daytime accumulation of 9–13 inches possible.
- 03 Winds of 17–29 mph with gusts up to 45 mph can cause drifting, severely reduced visibility, and falling branches.
- 04 Blowing snow persists through midnight, even as precipitation chances decrease.
- 05 Morning temperatures of 29–31°F and evening temperatures falling below freezing increase slippery-road and refreezing risks.
- 06 Exact visibility and road-treatment conditions are unavailable, so road safety cannot be confirmed.

Recommendation
Avoid nonessential driving all day, especially 6–11 AM EST and during the warning through 6 PM. Morning slot: 11 AM–noon has less intense snowfall than earlier hours but remains hazardous and is not recommended. Evening slot: 10 PM–midnight has weaker winds and minimal precipitation likelihood, but blowing snow and freezing temperatures still make it unsafe to recommend. For emergency travel only, check 511 road conditions, carry a winter survival kit, and stay with your vehicle if stranded.
