“In winter weather conditions, conditions can rapidly deteriorate,” the weather service says. Be ready for roads covered with ice or snow. Reduce your speed and give yourself more time to get there. If you have to drive into or through this squall, go with great caution. Accidents may result from abrupt changes in visibility and perhaps slick roads.
