A level 2 travel watch means the current weather is threatening to the public only essential travel is recommended such as to and from work or in an emergency. So if you can stay off the roads then DO SO!

The winds are picking up pretty good at this time. We could be looking at blizzard "Like" conditions at times however it's not a blizzard. I still like my snowfall range. I have been calling this for three days and I feel no need to change it now. I will check back tomorrow afternoon or so with another update on snowfall totals and such. For now we need to be storm ready and heed the watches and warnings. This blowing and drifting snow is very dangerous so please stay smart and stay safe. Now is a great time to stay home and enjoy a hot cup of coffee and maybe watch a movie or something with family. I know my coffee taste pretty good with temperatures only being at 11 degrees right now. I have been recording wind chills at 4 degrees brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

The worst winds will kick up by closer to 6:am EST Wednesday morning. Steady winds at around 19 to 20 mph gusting to 30 - 35 mph. This is when things will get really really dangerous!!

Also just took a snow count and Lafayette, is currently looking at around 3.9" to 4" inches. With the wind blowing the snow around we will need to take many many core samples to get the right snowfall numbers! Things still look on target at this time.....

So stay safe bloggers. I'll check back again soon.....
