PennDOT has imposed some driving limitations on the state’s highways starting Sunday evening in anticipation of a snowfall that is predicted to sweep into central Pennsylvania on Sunday night and continue into Monday.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike and the state Department of Transportation are advising drivers to drive carefully and to avoid needless travel during the storm.
