...Snow squalls expected this evening...
Snow squalls are expected this evening as a strong arctic front
moves across the North Country. Affected locations will see
rapidly changing weather and road conditions, with brief heavy
snow, blowing snow and gusty winds. A quick snow accumulation of
up to an inch is possible. Squalls are expected to arrive in
northern New York from 8 PM to 10 PM, and Vermont from 10 PM to
midnight.
Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...
Be prepared for areas of blowing snow. This could lead to
temporary whiteouts and the potential for dangerous driving
conditions. Icy roads are possible. If you are traveling and
encounter adverse winter driving conditions, reduce speed and
allow extra distance between vehicles.
Conditions can deteriorate rapidly in snow squalls. Be prepared
for snow or ice covered roads. Slow down and allow extra time when
traveling.
