  and a dusting of snow is possible. Winds gusting as high as 25

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Winter Storm Warning for snow means that heavy snowfall of

which includes a shovel, flashlight, cellphone, food and water,
and blankets of extra warm clothing. 

A Winter Weather Advisory is issued for a variety of winter
weather conditions, such as snow, blowing snow, sleet, or
freezing drizzle and rain. It only takes a small amount of wintry
precipitation to make roads, bridges, sidewalks, and parking lots
icy and dangerous. It is often difficult to tell when ice begins
to form, so do not be caught off guard.
