Winter Storm Ezekiel
The Weather Channel is calling this Winter Storm Ezekiel.
The winter storm likely will impact roadways and make travel very difficult for the duration of the storm. You can pretty much bank on travel disruptions into Monday morning if this early forecast is accurate.
According to NWS, the first part of the storm begins early Sunday morning with mostly ice and a wintry mix of precipitation. After a brief lull, an all-snow event will follow. The more NE you get in NEPA, the heavier the snowfall totals get.
