Hopefully, you still have your winter traction tires installed. If you took them off already, I would stay home unless you can catch a window of time with no restrictions.

Make sure you have chains in your car before you leave if you're not in an all-wheel drive car. You can get a ticket if you don't have them at least packed in your trunk.
