significant blowing and drifting snow, along with whiteout
conditions.

and Western Chippewa Counties.
* WHEN…Until 4 AM EST Saturday.
* IMPACTS…Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will

impact the Friday evening commute. The strong winds and weight of
snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic
power outages.
