Expect conditions today to deteriorate as winds will pick up out of the NW gusting over 30mph producing blowing snow and slick travel and reduced visibilities at times from afternoon through evening commute.  Slick travel is expected this evening as blowing snow will ice up the roadways.  Following todays snow/blowing snow (1/2″ to 1″) bitterly cold wind chills will settle in through the weekend.   Here’s a look at wind chills Thursday through Saturday:
