STRONG MESSAGING about the seriousness of the cold and wind on Saturday from the National Weather Service. Power outages possible. Longest period with subzero wind chills in 30+ years.

A good day to stay inside, or bundle up big time if you have to be outside.

The latest Key Messages detail the latest information regarding the impending winter storm set to produce far-reaching impacts from the Southern Rockies to the Northeast. The top graphic displays the Probabilistic Winter Storm Severity Index which depicts the probabilities for experiencing at least Moderate Impacts. Moderate Impacts speak to potential for hazardous travel conditions and some infrastructure impacts. The bottom image shows, of those probabilistic areas, which winter weather hazard (snow or freezing rain) is the most likely hazard in that area.

High-Impact & Far-Reaching Winter Storm 
A significant, long-duration winter storm is threatening over 160 million Americans with widespread heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Southern Rockies to New England, lasting from Friday through Monday. Extremely cold air will follow, prolonging dangerous travel and infrastructure impacts into next week.

Widespread Heavy Snow
Heavy snow is likely across a broad region from the Southern Rockies and Plains through the Mid-Atlantic and into the Northeast. Snowfall totals exceeding 12 inches are likely across the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. Widespread travel disruptions are likely. 

Catastrophic Ice Accumulation
Widespread freezing rain and sleet are expected south of the primary snow axis, affecting parts of the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, the Southeast, and southern Virginia. Significant to locally catastrophic ice accumulations are likely, with the potential for long-duration power outages, extensive tree damage, and extremely dangerous or impassable travel conditions. 

Extended Impacts
In wake of the storm, communities from the Southern Plains to the Northeast will contend with bitterly cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills. This will prolong hazardous travel and infrastructure impacts into next week. Preparations should be completed as soon as possible, & forecasts closely monitored for updates.

Over 160 million people are under winter hazards associated with the impending major winter storm. Disruptive snowfall is likely from the Rockies to the Northeast, including dangerous ice from the ArkLaTex to the Mid-Atlantic. You can find a detailed forecast at weather.gov.

Pacific moisture will continue to bring locally heavy coastal/lower elevation rain and heavy mountain snow to the West Coast and portions of the Intermountain West through Monday. A wintry mix will create hazardous travel across the northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes into early Monday.

This isn't what we mean about regular flow of traffic🥤

Our crews are working to clean up after a semi truck collided with a guardrail and fell into a ditch, losing its load of Poppi soda.

Tell a friend that we've still got the right lanes closed while crews work on this clean up and repair.

A wall of water approaches a street. Debris is covered everywhere. This is from the tsunami in Japan that happened in 2011.

➡️ 14 years ago today was the devastating earthquake and tsunami in Japan. We take a moment to remember all of those lives lost and damage done. May it serve as a reminder for what can happen in our state.
