Winter Storm Warning
Statement as of 11:25 am EST on February 11, 2012

... Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 6 PM EST this
evening...

Hazardous weather...

* moderate lake effect snow will continue into the early
   afternoon across Berrien County. The snow will transition into
   multiple weakening snowbands through the afternoon hours.
   Snowfall rates of up to 1 inch per hour can be expected through
   early afternoon in the most intense snowfall.

* Strong winds may cause periods of near whiteout conditions at
   times. Sharply colder temperatures and brisk winds will cause
   wind chill temperatures in the single digits.

Impacts...

* snow and ice covered roads will result in extremely hazardous
   travel conditions.

* Storm totals will vary greatly across the County... ranging 5
   to 18 inches with isolated higher amounts possible especially
   along the central and southern Lakeshore region where the
   heavier snow is likely to persist for the longest duration.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A Winter Storm Warning for heavy snow means severe winter weather
conditions are expected or occurring. Significant amounts of snow
are forecast that will make travel dangerous. Only travel in an
emergency. If you must travel... keep an extra flashlight...
food... and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
