1/3…Snow is expected to overspread the area from the southwest late this morning, expanding northeast through this afternoon. Snowfall rates will be heavy, possibly 1″ per hour in some cases, which will lead to very quick accumulation on the roads, plus reduced visibility. pic.twitter.com/9DCio1CJ60
