late this morning before tapering off in the afternoon. A second
round of heavier snow is likely this evening through Tuesday

expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and
poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to whiteout conditions,
making travel very hazardous. If you must travel, have a winter
survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
