What is a winter weather advisory?
A winter weather advisory is issued for winter precipitation that is expected to cause significant inconvenience: slick roads, slower commutes and possible school delays. Totals stay below the local winter storm warning criteria, but even light freezing rain or a thin coat of snow can cause many crashes.
What to do
- Leave extra time and slow down on bridges and overpasses.
- Keep a scraper, blanket and phone charger in your car.

Frequently asked questions
Should I drive during a winter weather advisory?
Driving is usually possible but slower and riskier. Reduce speed, increase following distance and avoid unnecessary trips during the worst of it.
