National Weather Service says snow is expected — around 2-4 inches, meaning travel difficulties, snow covered roads and limited visibilities.

Plan on slippery road conditions including during the morning commute on Wednesday — and be prepared for reduced visibilities at time.
AAA offers these winter weather driving tips:
• Remove all snow from your vehicle, including the roof, hood, and trunk. While driving, snow can blow off a car onto the windshield of a nearby vehicle, temporary blinding that driver’s vision.
• Don’t let your car idle – you should warm up your car no more than 30 seconds before you start driving, as the engine warms up faster from being driven. Never leave your car idling, unattended.
• Allow plenty of extra time to get where you need to go.
• Increase following distance between you and the cars around you.
• Stay at least six car lengths behind snow plows, salt trucks and road crews.
• Slow down and move over – if you see police, EMS or roadside assistance operators helping a motorist on the side of the road.
