Expected Conditions

The National Weather Service forecasts additional snow and sleet accumulations between 4 and 6 inches, along with ice accumulations ranging from one-tenth to one-quarter of an inch. Strong winds are also expected, with gusts reaching as high as 50 mph. These winds will likely cause significant blowing and drifting of snow from Sunday night into Monday.

What You Should Do

Authorities urge residents to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in multiple layers of clothing to stay warm and cover all exposed skin to reduce the risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Be sure to wear gloves, a scarf, and a hat to retain body heat.

Travel should be delayed if possible. If travel is absolutely necessary, motorists are advised to use extreme caution.
