On a scale of snow fall for our area, the storm Tuesday/Wednesday will rank on the average end at 4-6”. HOWEVER… on a scale of impacts, it will rank very high.
Once snow arrives around 4pm, it will intensify rapidly with snow rates of 1”-2” per hour between 5pm – 7pm. After 7pm, will depend on the infiltration of warmer air. We may stay all snow or change over to sleet or possibly freezing rain. In any case, travel will be difficult, if not hazardous, all night and possibly into the Wednesday morning commute.
Please plan ahead for tomorrow and keep in mind that traffic will be a bear if everyone in the state decides to leave work early.
