Strong west-northwesterly winds gusting up to around 45 mph are expected on Thursday. These winds will likely be accompanied by snow for a few hours during the late morning and early afternoon. While snowfall accumulations will likely remain under 2", the combination of the strong winds and sharply reduced visibilities from wind-whipped snow will lead to hazardous travel conditions tomorrow. Motorists should use caution when traveling in these conditions and remain alert for possible slick spots on roadways. $$ Ogorek
