"The Winter Storm Warning has been downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory as the primary storm exits the region. While moderate to heavy snowfall rates have subsided, light to moderate snow showers will continue through 10 a.m. Plan on slippery road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Monday morning commute. Strong winds could cause damage to trees and power lines, the NWS said. Slow down and use caution while traveling."
"Winter's icy grip often turns roads treacherous, leading to over 6,000 weather-related vehicle fatalities and more than 480,000 injuries each year. When you find yourself on snowy or freezing rain-slicked roads, your top priority should be safety. Slow down and exercise caution. In temperatures near freezing, it's prudent to assume icy patches on the road and adjust your driving accordingly."
