It doesn't take a lot of snow to cause chaos on the roads! The worst of things will be to the north of us near the Canadian border. However, we will still see strong winds up to 45 mph which will lead to whiteout conditions. Be careful out there.

As always, you should take these things seriously and plan ahead. You should also always have a way to keep up with the weather forecast so you can stay as safe as possible. Hello, white Christmas.
