The snow will move out quickly, with most of the area completely dry around midnight.
Although this will NOT be a major snowstorm, the very cold ground and roads will allow snow to stick quickly. This will lead to hazardous travel Tuesday evening, overnight, and into Wednesday morning.
Main roads and secondary roads will be suspectable to slick travel on Tuesday night, as frigid temperatures may cause the road salt to be a little less effective.
Another concern for Tuesday night and Wednesday morning will be the bitter cold wind chills. Wind chills in the mountains could fall as low as 20 to 15 degrees below zero, while the rest of the region will experience single-digit wind chills. Be sure to wear multiple layers and cover up all exposed skin.
It will feel like teens and 20s through the day due to breezy conditions on Wednesday afternoon. Although increasing sunshine will allow air temperatures to climb into the lower 30s.
We will slowly thaw things out later this week and into the weekend. Highs will be back in the 40s by Friday, with possibly a few 50s on Saturday and Sunday.
