The combination of strong winds; light, fluffy snow and timing create a high impact from such a small snowstorm.  Most areas are forecast to receive 2 to 3 inches of snow.  But the blowing snow and low visibilities during the late afternoon and evening commute increases the chances for accidents and a much longer commute home.  Here is the snowfall forecast by Thursday evening:

Give yourself extra time and go slow if you need to drive Thursday afternoon and evening.  And if you don't need to drive, just wait out the storm.
