Roads will become hazardous in areas in which snow accumulation occurs. Drivers are strongly discouraged from any unnecessary travel during this winter event. Motorists that will be required to travel on area roadways are encouraged to drive to conditions. Slow down, leave plenty of space between vehicles and move over if vehicles are parked on the shoulder or side of the road.
