Emojis are basically small photos or symbols used online to convey thoughts quicker.

So what is Perrine saying? 

Here's a translation:

There is a possible 1-2 inches of snow for the a.m. rush hour.

Leave early.

Clear snow and ice from all vehicle windows.

Make sure your gas tank is full.

Don't tailgate. (No emojis for that one.)

Don't drive like a knucklehead!
