Probably. It is hard to tell, but generally wind is what gets us. The thing that can help us is that the leaves are gone, so it will not have as much drag. They are also providing maximums.
Not sure where you were looking, but you can get all the NWS Wakefield stuff here:

They also have probabilistic maps for snow. https://www.weather.gov/akq/winter

This storm is going to nail a good portion of the country. For Richmond, we will see cold Peak cold right now is 3-6am saturday, looking at 10 degrees with a wind chill of negative 3. The big issue will be how much water is left on the roads to make black ice saturday morning.
Also, i hope we get all our homeless in a good place.

You are right about wind of course I should have caveated my answer above that wind will be less of an issue with the leaves off the trees.
In general in the winter it's ice that's more of a big deal since there is so little windage without leaves
Biggest reason why we won't have an issue is I just used my chainsaw and it's working fine. So Murphy is going to be scared off

Ha! I left our gas can at a friends an hour away. I picked a new one up to fill the generator. We will not lose power now!
Looks like the wind is settling, most of the gusts should be under 30, however looks like we will see them through tomorrow, just lower to 20. BRRRR
