Message of the Day: A storm system will likely bring wintry precipitation to portions of the area from late Wednesday night through Thursday night, especially for areas south of Interstate 70. There is potential for accumulating snow with this system. Uncertainty exists with regard to where and how much snow will occur.

Winter Weather Quick Facts and Preparedness: Quick facts you should know about winter weather: • Snow can occur at temperatures as high as 46 degrees if conditions are right. • Blizzard conditions are met when visibility in falling and blowing snow reaches ¼ mile or less and sustained wind speeds of 35 mph or greater occur for 3 hours or more. • As little as 1/16” of ice can begin to impact roadways and sidewalks. • As the wind increases, the body is cooled at a faster rate. The “wind chill” is a way for meteorologists to communicate what the combination of wind and temperature “feels like” to exposed skin.

Preparedness: - A Winter Storm Watch is issued when conditions are favorable for significant winter weather and/or blizzard conditions. Time to prepare! - A Winter Storm Warning is issued when a combination of heavy snow, blowing snow, and possibly ice mixed with snow is expected to impact the area. Time to act! - A Blizzard Warning is issued when the combination of strong wind, low visibility, and heavy snow will significantly impact daily life.
