The winter storm watch issued early this morning
has been upgraded to a winter storm warning, in
effect from 4 p.m. Wednesday through 4 p.m.
Thursday.
The National Weather Service predicts steady
accumulating snow will begin Wednesday evening
and continue through much of Thursday morning,
bringing four to eight inches of new snow to the
valleys and as much as 20 inches to higher
elevations before the snow level rises to 4,000
feet, turning first to sleet and freezing rain
and to rain Thursday afternoon.
In addition to making travel difficult, the snow
is expected to be wet and heavy, adding stress
to roofs and structures as well as to trees and
power lines.
Area residents are urged to make all possible
preparations before Snowmaggedon II is upon us. |
