...SNOW TAPERING OFF OVERNIGHT BUT CONTINUED WINDY WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW... SNOW WILL GENERALLY TAPER OFF TO FLURRIES THROUGH 2 AM...WITH A FEW VERY NARROW BANDS OF ACCUMULATING SNOW UP TO AN INCH LINGERING...ESPECIALLY DOWNWIND OF BENDS ON AREA RIVERS...AS MUCH COLDER AIR CONTINUES TO SURGE INTO THE AREA ON STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS. THESE WINDS SUSTAINED AT 20 TO 30 MPH AND GUSTY WILL CONTINUE TO PRODUCE BLOWING SNOW REDUCING VISIBILITIES BELOW 1 MILE AND POSSIBLY TO NEAR ONE QUARTER MILE AT TIMES. ALSO... DRIFTING SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED ESPECIALLY ON EAST WEST ROADWAYS. THE COMBINATION OF LOW VISIBILITIES FROM BLOWING SNOW AND THE SNOW COVERED AND SLICK ROADWAYS WILL CONTINUE TO RESULT IN HAZARDOUS TRAVEL CONDITIONS. MOTORISTS ARE URGED TO DRIVE WITH CAUTION TONIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY MORNING...AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION. A WIND CHILL ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE ENTIRE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING. THE STRONG WIND COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURES FALLING TO AROUND 10 BELOW NORTH TO ZERO TO 5 ABOVE SOUTH WILL CREATE DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS IN THE 20 TO 30 BELOW RANGE.
