A severe winter storm is expected to impact Pennsylvania, bringing snow, ice, strong winds, and hazardous travel conditions this weekend. Roadways may become snow-covered and icy, with reduced visibility and possible travel delays.
PennDOT crews will be treating roadways, but drivers are urged to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm when possible.
If you must travel:
- Slow down and increase following distance
- Clear snow and ice from your entire vehicle
- Use headlights in low visibility
- Carry a winter emergency kit
- Stay at least 6 car lengths behind snowplows and never pass a plow unless absolutely necessary
- Check road conditions before traveling at 511PA
Conditions may change rapidly. Stay informed, plan ahead, and use caution to help keep Pennsylvania’s roads safe.
