The storm is expected to primarily affect higher elevations, where wet, heavy snow and strong winds will create dangerous travel and outdoor conditions. Hypothermia is a significant concern for those exposed to the elements, as wet snow and wind can rapidly strip body heat. Travel through mountain passes, such as Logan and Marias Passes, may become treacherous due to slushy roads, reduced visibility, and potential debris from falling branches. While lower elevations may see less snow accumulation, slippery conditions could still disrupt travel and outdoor activities.
