Forecasters say periods of heavy snow and strong winds will continue Thursday into Saturday.
Some mountain areas could get up to 5 feet of snow.
Heavy snow will likely result in dangerous travel conditions beginning Thursday afternoon. 3 FEET of snow or more possible at pass levels through Saturday. Avoid travel if you can! #cawx pic.twitter.com/QcuzkLmsmr
