Travel should be restricted to emergencies only. If you must travel,
have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with
your vehicle. The latest road conditions for the state you are
calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds are likely.
This will lead to whiteout conditions, making travel extremely
dangerous.
