The heaviest snow and winds are expected beginning after midnight and continuing until Tuesday afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service, the heavy snow and strong winds will result in white-out blizzard conditions with near zero visibility.

“Travel will be impossible and life-threatening across the entire region,” the National Weather Service predicts. “Also snow may be wet enough to result in downed tree limbs and power outages in addition to the wind.”

Winds will be blowing between 15-25 mph with gusts of up to 45 miles per hour.
