Here are the common headlines you'll see for a winter weather event. New this year is the addition of the "Particularly Dangerous Situation" wording to blizzards we deem especially severe.
Blizzard Warning: Severe winter weather is expected within the next 12 to 36 hours or is occurring - including whiteout conditions. Do not travel. TAKE ACTION. Winter Storm Warning: Dangerous winter weather is expected within the next 12 to 36 hours or is occurring. Considerable travel problems are expected. TAKE ACTION. Winter Weather Advisory: Potentially dangerous winter weather is expected within the 12 to 36 hours or is occurring. Travel difficulties are expected. BE AWARE.

Graphic explaining the new “Particularly Dangerous Situation” (PDS) wording that may appear in Blizzard Warnings and Ice Storm Warnings starting this winter. The designation indicates high confidence in a rare, extreme, potentially historic winter weather event posing an exceptional threat. A yellow warning triangle emphasizes the message to stay off the roads and exercise extreme caution. NOAA and National Weather Service logos appear at the bottom.

Another cloudy, breezy, and chilly day ahead Thursday. Maybe we sneak in a peek of sun, but don't bank on it. Expect temps in the 40s all day again with NNW wind gusting up to 25 mph.

With every crash, a first responder's top priority is to save lives and prevent more crashes from occurring. When they arrive on scene, responders need your help to make this possible. #MoveOver to allow emergency personnel to work safely and effectively. #CrashResponderSafteyWeek

Clouds will be stubborn today and the WNW wind will still gust 20-30 mph keeping things chilly all day. Kiddos will need a extra/thicker layer with temps in the 40s most of the day. Can't rule out some spotty drizzle too, but most stay dry.

There's often only a few feet between first responders and lanes of traffic on the road. When you come upon a first responder, tow truck, crash scene, or any vulnerable vehicle, move over to keep them safe. #CrashResponderSafetyWeek
