...HAZARDOUS TRAVEL TONIGHT...

A POWERFUL COLD FRONT BLASTED THROUGH THE REGION EARLIER TODAY,  
ALLOWING MUCH COLDER AIR TO OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE AREA. BEHIND THE 
FRONT, RAIN QUICKLY CHANGED TO SNOW AND ACCUMULATED ONE TO TWO 
INCHES BEFORE ENDING LATE THIS AFTERNOON. ALSO, STRONG NORTHWEST 
WINDS BLEW THE SNOW AROUND, WITH MANY PLACES REPORTING WIND GUSTS OF 
35 TO 45 MPH. A WIND ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING.

FOR TONIGHT, SKIES WILL BECOME CLEAR TO PARTLY CLOUDY, BUT 
TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL THROUGH THE TWENTIES AND INTO THE 
TEENS. THE STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PRODUCE WIND CHILLS IN THE 
TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS, AND POSSIBLY BELOW ZERO IN THE POCONOS AND 
NORTHWEST NEW JERSEY.

AS A RESULT, MANY UNTREATED ROADS WILL REMAIN ICY AND SLICK THIS 
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THERE COULD BE SOME AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW AND 
SUDDEN LOSS OF VISIBILITY. THE STRONG WINDS WILL MAKE STEERING MORE 
DIFFICULT, ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH-PROFILE VEHICLES. THUS MOTORISTS 
SHOULD USE EXTRA CAUTION TONIGHT...AND PERHAPS AVOID NON-ESSENTIAL 
TRAVEL.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA ALL HAZARDS WEATHER RADIO, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLET FOR UPDATES ON THIS QUICK RETURN TO WINTER.
