The storm will begin as all snow with frigid temperatures between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday.

Snow intensity will increase through the morning. Snow rates will easily be at least 1 to 2 inches per hour for several hours. The wind will also be increasing out of the east with some gusts over 30 mph. This will lead to whiteout conditions in the afternoon. Travel conditions overall will dramatically deteriorate quickly.
