Special Statement
Statement as of 10:25 am EST on February 11, 2012

... Snow showers... gusty winds... and slick roads possible today...

A strong Arctic cold front has pushed through the region this
morning... leaving snow accumulations of 1 to 2 inches. Northwest
winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 35 mph will continue to
affect the region. This will cause some blowing and drifting of
snow. Cold temperatures will not warm up much during the day... so
icy conditions are possible.

Scattered snow showers are expected to continue... especially
during the afternoon. Additional snow accumulations are
possible... but will likely remain under an inch.

Travel difficulties are expected due to snow and blowing
snow... resulting in reduced visibilities and slick spots on
untreated roadways. Motorists are urged to allow extra time to
reach their destinations.
