** PENNSYLVANIA TRAVEL IMPACTS & TIMING **
One last update this evening, pulled from the final forecast. Here is the winter weather timing and travel impacts. I had to introduce a new category of "impossible" as I would highly advise from not travelling during a significant ice storm. I am still worried the timing may be too late, so take it +/- 1 hour. It won't take long after precipitation begins for conditions to worsen.
IMPOSSIBLE: Widespread ice accumulation will render nearly all roadways impassable, including major highways and interstates. Travel will be impossible for most vehicles, with a high likelihood of stranded motorists, jackknifed trucks, and emergency response delays. Do not travel under any circumstances unless it is life-threatening. Watch for falling trees and power lines on roads due to heavy icing.
VERY HIGH: Widespread snow and/or ice will cover nearly all roadways, including major highways and interstates. Severe winter storm conditions will create extremely dangerous travel. Vehicles may become stranded, especially during the heaviest snow and/or ice. Travel will be impossible at times. Do not travel unless absolutely necessary.
HIGH: Snow and/or ice will impact most roadways, including many highways and interstates. Hazardous driving conditions will increase the risk of accidents. Avoid non-essential travel.
MODERATE: Snow and/or ice will affect scattered roadways and some highways. While conditions remain less severe, accidents can still occur. Use caution, reduce speeds, and allow extra travel time.
MINOR: Isolated roadways may become snow- or ice-covered. Impacts remain limited, but slick spots can develop. Stay alert, slow down, and drive with caution.
Stay tuned & stay safe tomorrow!
