In general, it's best to stay off the road when severe winter weather is predicted.

About 70% of winter weather-related injuries occur in an automobile and 25% happen to people caught in a storm, the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) reports.
According to Ready.gov, the cold of a winter storm can increase the risk of frostbite and hypothermia.
Combating the rain, snow, wind and ice could lead to car accidents due to dangerous driving conditions.
In addition to paying attention to TV, radio and online weather reports, Ready.gov suggests making sure your mobile phone is set up to receive wireless emergency alerts.
Weather alerts, which are part of the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, are like text messages and notify you of serious weather conditions and recommended actions.
You can also tune into your local NOAA Weather Radio station for continuous weather broadcasts, official watches, warnings and more.
