...WINTER STORM WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 AM EST /9 AM CST/ 
WEDNESDAY...

* WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation. Additional snow and sleet 
  accumulations ranging from less than an inch in the far Southeast 
  FL Big Bend to 4 inches near the Flint River Valley. Ice 
  accumulations around one tenth to two-tenths of an inch.

* WHERE...Portions of Big Bend and Panhandle Florida and south 
  central and southwest Georgia.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM EST /9 AM CST/ Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Roads, and especially bridges and overpasses, will 
  likely become slick and hazardous. The weight of snow on tree 
  limbs may down power lines and could cause sporadic power outages. 
  Significant ice accumulation on power lines and tree limbs may 
  cause significant and prolonged power outages. Plan on slippery 
  road conditions. The hazardous conditions could impact the Tuesday 
  evening and Wednesday morning commutes.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in 
your vehicle in case of an emergency. The latest road conditions for 
the state you are calling from can be obtained by calling 5 1 1.

Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you 
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will 
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to 
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a 
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

Persons should delay all travel if possible. If travel is absolutely 
necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared for sudden 
changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you and the 
motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your 
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially 
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is 
winterized and in good working order.

Do not touch downed lines and report any power outages to your 
electric company. Travel is highly discouraged due to slick roadways 
and the possibility of downed trees and power lines.
