Never pass a plow on the right. Give plows room to work by maintaining at least a three-second following distance. If multiple plows are working in tandem, do not attempt to move between them. Stay out of the blind spots. Drive for conditions. Allow extra time to travel.

Blowing snow, low visibility and hazardous road conditions have been reported on many roads. A blizzard warning is in effect and several schools have canceled classes Friday due to the weather.
