Default Maybe some damage

With warm air projected to intrude on the area during the snowstorm, it's likely that anywhere near the edge of the 'all snow' zone (and in the mix/rain zone) will get several hours of sticky wet snow. Since high winds are also a part of this system, this could produce some damage from snow-laden objects (including trees) falling.

This will not be much of an issue if the storm keeps us well within its 'all snow' zone where colder temps should allow for a more powdery snowfall. There, blowing snow will be a visibility issue, but there shouldn't be much damage.

Also, as R2B said, get rid of wet snow and/or standing water quickly because as soon as this thing passes it's going to pull down some really frigid air (some of us will get below zero for the first time this season.) This will cause everything to freeze and become impossible to remove without a flamethrower.

Re-freezing won't be an issue on the colder side of the storm where the powdery snow falls.
