Saturday snow update 🌨️

Update #488d

Hello again! I’ll keep this update short and sweet. Be safe out there today.

• The snow today will get underway a little earlier (8:00 - 10:00 am) and accumulation will be a little higher (3-6 inches) compared to yesterday’s forecast. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some isolated 6-8 inch amounts.

• I expect that road conditions will deteriorate quickly after the snow starts, becoming quite slippery by 10:00 am.

• The worst of the storm will occur between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm — avoid traveling during this time! Snow rates will reach or exceed an inch per hour and temperatures will fall into the 20s.

• Snow rates will ease after 2:00 pm, but the snow probably won’t stop entirely until 6:00 or 7:00 pm.

• Conditions on main roads will gradually improve after 2:00 pm, although secondary roads will remain snow-covered for a while longer.

• Gusty winds during the afternoon and evening will cause blowing and drifting with whiteout conditions possible at times.

• Low temperatures tonight will be in the teens with gusty winds. Sunday will have highs near freezing before it warms up significantly on Monday.
