"Travel could become hazardous due to snow-covered roads and reduced visibility from blowing snow, especially in the warning/advisory areas," the National Weather Service said. "Gusty winds could lead to downed tree limbs, the blowing about of unsecured objects, and a few power outages. Gusts of up to 50 mph are possible within the wind advisory."
