* WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 3
inches, with isolated totals up to 4 inches possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central and

wind chills as low as 5 to 20 below zero could result in
hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Additional snow showers are possible Friday
afternoon which could result in slippery travel conditions
persisting into the afternoon.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Slow down and use caution while traveling.
