…Snow showers and areas of Blowing and Drifting Snow Likely This Afternoon, more blowing snow again overnight…
Snow showers combined with westerly wind gusts to 35 or 40 mph along with fresh dry snow cover has resulted blowing and drifting snow. Visibility has been reduced to 1 mile in spots, though some areas have observed near blizzard conditions with visibility to one quarter mile or less. These blizzard like conditions will not be widespread, and will be favored in open areas, but expect widely varying visibility this afternoon when wind gusts increase or a shower moves in.
Allow extra travel time and keep a safe following distance from the vehicle in front of you, as roads could become snow covered from the blowing snow and visibility could sharply change.
When the bitter cold air arrives overnight, another surge of wind will likely create areas of blowing snow. </pre>
