The storm's heavy, wet snow increases the risk of power outages and structural damage, particularly in higher elevations. Roofs may experience stress from uneven snow accumulation, and tree limbs could fall onto power lines. Travel conditions are expected to deteriorate, with some roads potentially becoming impassable. Residents in areas above 5,000 feet should be especially cautious, as snowfall totals and snow weight could be significant. Utilities in the region are preparing for outages, and residents are encouraged to monitor updates and take precautions.
