...Slippery Travel and Periods of Reduced Visibility in Snow for
the Morning Commute...

Snow will continue to move across the area through 830 AM before
decreasing. The snow will be light to moderate in intensity at
times, which combined with gusty winds of 35 to around 45 mph will
reduce visibilities under 1 mile. Most locations will receive
additional snowfall of under 1 inch of accumulation. There will
also be drifting snow especially across north to south oriented
roads. There is also a layer of ice under the snow on untreated
roads making for slick conditions.

Roads, bridges, and overpasses will be slick and hazardous due to
the snowfall, underlying ice, and temperatures dropping below the
freezing mark. If driving, slow down and allow extra following
distance, and plan on slippery travel for the rest of the morning
commute.
