1/4 | Light snow exits the area this morning, then the attention focuses on the upcoming winter storm. We continue to expect accumulating snow and very strong winds, with blizzard conditions possible Thursday night through Friday night. #wiwx
2/4 | On top of blizzard conditions, these winds could cause damage to tree limbs resulting in the potential for sporadic power outages. Blowing and drifting snow will continue to impact travel through Saturday. #wiwx
3/4 | While model trends have shifted southeast with the storm track and snowfall amounts remain uncertain at this time, it should be noted that we don't need significant snowfall to create blizzard conditions! #wiwx
4/4 | The other story is the bitter cold moving in Thursday night through Sunday morning. Wind chill values will fall down to 15 to 25 below zero, maybe a bit lower in spots! #wiwx

While new model trends are pushing the storm system on a more easterly path, high winds and new powdery snowfall will lead to the possibility of blizzard conditions Thursday night (1/6)
This event will generally be a two-parter. Light snow is expected Wed. night into Thurs. afternoon. Then, winds will kick in and another round of snow will fall late Thurs. afternoon through Fri. night. Blizzard conditions/frigid temps will be possible during this time. (2/6)
These will be the approximate times when each facet of the storm/frigid temperatures will have the most impacts to the public. (3/6)
