A cold night on tap tonight will be further impacted by strong gusty winds, resulting in dangerous wind chills below -15F; some areas could feel as cold as -30F. This will be dangerous, as frostbite can develop in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. Limit time outdoors and dress in layers. Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle in case you get stranded.

Gusty winds plus continued powdery lake effect snow will lead to significant reductions in visibility with whiteouts at times through Friday, especially in open areas where snow can easily blow around. Dangerous travel conditions are expected, and wind chills well below zero will be even more problematic if you end up stranded on the road.
