You will become trapped
Around 2 p.m., the Weather Service issued a special weather statement for the extreme snow rates, warning that “you will become trapped” if you attempt to drive in or through the areas under the snow band.
Some locations south of the city had already picked up more than three feet (1 meter) of snow as of Tuesday morning.
