Winter Storm Warning: Looking Like Misery For Thursday

Ugh.  Seems like yesterday we were maybe going to get 3". Now it's another SNOWPOCALYPSE. 
HEAVY SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 8 TO 12 INCHES.  WINDS NORTH 15 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH.  TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 30S.
ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF MILE VISIBILITY AT TIMES.
SNOW WILL DEVELOP LATE TONIGHT AND CONTINUE DURING THE DAY THURSDAY BEFORE TAPERING OFF THURSDAY NIGHT. SLEET AND RAIN WILL LIKELY MIX WITH THE SNOW DURING THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS THURSDAY.
SNOWFALL WILL MAKE TRAVEL TREACHEROUS. IN ADDITION HEAVY WET SNOW MAY CAUSE SOME WEAK FLAT ROOF STRUCTURES TO COLLAPSE AND TREE BRANCHES WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FALLING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR HEAVY SNOW MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE FORECAST THAT WILL MAKE TRAVEL DANGEROUS. ONLY TRAVEL IN AN EMERGENCY. IF YOU MUST TRAVEL
KEEP AN EXTRA FLASHLIGHT FOOD AND WATER IN YOUR VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.  
Snow day in spirit if not in fact.
