  EARLY THIS EVENING. A BAND OF SNOW WILL CONTINUE PUSHING THROUGH
  THE REGION FROM FROM EARLY TO MID EVENING. SNOW ACCUMULATIONS
  FROM ONE TO ONE AND A HALF INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED. THE
  COMBINATION OF ICE AND SNOW WILL RESULT IN CONTINUED HAZARDOUS
  DRIVING CONDITIONS.

* OTHER IMPACTS...STRONG NORTHERLY WINDS WILL ALSO CAUSE AREAS
  OF BLOWING SNOW...ESPECIALLY ON WEST TO EAST ORIENTED
  ROADWAYS. VISIBILITIES MAY DROP TO LESS THAN A HALF MILE AT
  TIMES IN HEAVIER SNOW BANDS AND IN AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW.

* WIND CHILL VALUES...WILL RANGE FROM -8 TO -15 DEGREES FROM
  LATE TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MEANS THAT PERIODS OF SNOW...SLEET...OR
FREEZING RAIN WILL CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR
SLIPPERY ROADS AND LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE
DRIVING.

A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS
WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN
FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN.
IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS...MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND
GLOVES.
