Hazardous weather...

* 6 to 10 inches of snow is expected through mid day Wednesday.

* Snow will continue morning and become heavy at times this
   afternoon and evening.

* Blowing and drifting snow is expected tonight and Wednesday as
   north winds increase to 15 to 30 mph.

Impacts...

   in snow covered and slippery roads. The evening commute home

* Areas of blowing snow will limit visibility... especially in
   open country tonight and Wednesday. Near blizzard conditions
   will be possible closer to Lake Michigan. Use caution if you

   in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
