Travel could be nearly impossible. The hazardous conditions could

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Worst conditions will be closer to Lake
Superior as strong winds off of the Lake will lead to higher snow
totals and greater reductions in visibilities.
The majority of the snowfall is expected to fall during the daytime
hours. With the high sun angle and temperatures hovering just above
freezing, snowfall will have a difficult time accumulating on warm
surfaces leading to a slushy mess.
