DO NOT TRAVEL in these blizzard conditions
Total snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches and winds gusting 40 to 55 mph will lead to blowing snow and eventual near whiteout conditions. The addition of possible light ice accumulations is making travel hazardous. Gusty winds will produce strong crosswinds for travelers, including high-profile vehicles like tractor-trailers. Winds may and may lead to isolated power outages and downed tree branches.
Troopers are reporting whiteout conditions in the tri-city area on I-80, Highway 34, Highway 30, and other roadways in the area. Troopers say they and other agencies are working numerous crashes or slide-offs.
The troopers are suggesting no travel in these conditions.
