==DISCUSSION==
POOR VISIBILITY IN SNOW AND BLOWING SNOW IS EXPECTED OR OCCURRING IN
SOME LOCATIONS.
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS WITH GUSTS UP TO 60 KM/H WILL CONTINUE TO BRING
REDUCED VISIBILITY IN BLOWING SNOW OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. VISIBILITY MAY
BE AS LOW AS 400 M IN EXPOSED AREAS.
CONDITIONS WILL IMPROVE LATER THIS MORNING AS THE WINDS BEGIN TO
TAPER OFF.
TRAVEL IS EXPECTED TO BE HAZARDOUS DUE TO REDUCED VISIBILITY IN SOME
LOCATIONS. CONSIDER POSTPONING NON-ESSENTIAL TRAVEL UNTIL CONDITIONS
IMPROVE. ENSURE THAT SHELTER IS PROVIDED FOR PETS AND OUTDOOR
ANIMALS.
