Heavy Snow 1-3 Inches Per Hour

Heavy snow is expected to make travel difficult to impossible during the morning and evening commutes. 40 MPH wind gusts could reduce visibility Tuesday night.

Snowfall rates of 1 to 3 inches per hour are possible at times. Scattered power outages are possible from a combination of heavy snow and gusty winds.

The National Weather Service is calling for total snow accumulations of 12 to 18 inches with 40 mph wind gusts. But every snowstorm this winter has ended with less snow than expected. Let's hope this one follows the trend.
