Travel conditions will improve through the day on Monday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Steady light to moderate snowfall will continue into early to mid morning hours before tapering to snow showers and flurries by the late morning and afternoon hours. Breezy conditions this afternoon may allow for some drifting of snowfall, especially in high terrain areas.
Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will keep you warmer than a single heavy coat.
