Significant winter weather possible for the Midstate this weekend(maxuser | wsmv)
This is shaping up to be a long duration and highly impactful winter weather event with heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain all on the table for the Midstate. Winter weather will move in late Friday evening and overnight and become more widespread and heavier throughout the day on Saturday and into at least part of the day Sunday.
Roads will quickly become hazards as snow and ice accumulate, and travel will be dangerous.
At this time there is still some uncertainty regarding what areas will stay all snow and what areas will change over to an icy mix. Right now, icing is more likely south of I-40, but that could very well extend to the north as well. More sleet and freezing rain would obviously lower overall snowfall totals but create problems themselves across the Midstate.
With significant winter weather impacts possible this weekend, it’s best to start preparing now. Purchase a shovel and some snow melt for your driveway and sidewalks. You should also have an ice scraper and snowbrush on hand for your vehicles. Consider your plans for the weekend and how they might need to change if this winter storm materializes for the Midstate.
