Dangerous Cold Monday
The wintry precipitation from Sunday night has come to an end. However, wind chill values will range from 0° to -15° Monday morning. So, if you plan to enjoy the snow, please wear several layers and protect your body from hypothermia.
Travel Impacts
Even though wintry precipitation will end by midday Monday, we won’t be able to warm above freezing until sometime Tuesday afternoon. Because of this, any precipitation on the ground will not be able to melt much before the Tuesday morning commute. So, please be prepared for travel hazards and delays on both Monday and Tuesday mornings. We’re also monitoring the likelihood of another round of wintry weather Tuesday night and early Wednesday.

- Make sure pets are cared for by providing warm shelter and food
