“Visibility may be reduced to less than 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Strong winds and the weight of snow on tree branches can disable power lines and cause occasional power outages,” the warning said. “Whiteout conditions are expected and will make travel hazardous and potentially life-threatening. There is the potential for snow bands that will bring locally heavy snowfall, resulting in rapid snow accumulation and extremely hazardous travel conditions. Heavy wet snow will weigh down tree branches, leading to broken branches, downed trees and a high threat of power outages.”
