Calling it a “crippling and potentially historic blizzard” the National Weather Service is advising against traveling from Monday evening through Tuesday because a blizzard is forecast to dump up to 28 inches of snow on Avon.
The National Weather Service just scrapped its Blizzard Watch and replaced it with a Blizzard Warning, which begins at 1 p.m. Monday and runs until midnight.
The National Weather Service predicts that snow will fall at a rate of 2-4 inches of snow per hour.

The details:

Light snow will fall mainly after 4 p.m. on Monday with less than an inch possible.

Snow intensifies Monday night and the heaviest snow is forecast from midnight Tuesday until Tuesday afternoon. About nine to 13 inches will fall overnight.

Another 10 to 14 inches of snow will fall Tuesday.

The National Weather Service is not playing around when it comes to the severity of this storm saying it could lead to “life-threatening conditions” and that traveling will be “extremely dangerous.”

White-out conditions are expected and if you do travel the National Weather Service urges you to bring a survival kit.
