LIFE-THREATENING TRAVEL CONDITIONS AND COLD CONTINUE.

Life-threatening travel conditions coupled with life-threatening cold temperatures will persist overnight as snow diminishes across the area. Most area roadways are completely impassible in the wake of the winter storm and folks should remain off the roadways through the morning. Temperatures are expected to plummet into the teens and even some isolated single digits tonight with wind chills well into the single digits and possibly dipping below zero.

DO NOT attempt to travel within the area tonight and anyone who does attempt to travel may become stranded and could be exposed to these harsh conditions for hours.

Moderate to heavy snow ends from northwest to southeast this evening. Life threatening travel conditions and cold will continue through tonight!

Here are our latest thoughts on the heavy snow ongoing across the area. The greatest focus will remain along the southern half of the area with snow beginning to taper off later this afternoon into early this evening. Additional significant accumulations are expected.
