Hazardous Road Conditions + Dangerously Cold Temperatures. Snow Continues Thru The Evening.
Sunday Night Update: It’s Snowing. Winter Storm Warning Until Tuesday AM, Hazardous Traveling Conditions, Dangerous Cold
Well…it’s snowing.
As expected, snow has quickly accumulated across the area and road conditions are quickly deteriorating. If you don’t have to get out, please don’t. If you must get out, please, take it slow, leave plenty of room, and *clean the snow off the top of your car*. Snow on top of vehicles can become aerodynamic ice missiles, and you do not want that flying thru a windshield.
