The meteorological service reported that “a band of heavy snow was near Forest City, or near Carbondale, moving east at 25 MPH” at 2:20 p.m.
Carbondale, Honesdale, Clifford, Forest City, Mayfield, Waymart, Dalton, Vandling, Hop Bottom, and Union Dale are among the places affected by the alert. The following highway exits are included in this: Pennsylvania Interstate 81 between 199 and 211.
“In winter weather conditions, conditions can rapidly deteriorate,” the weather service says. Be ready for roads covered with ice or snow. Reduce your speed and give yourself more time to get there. If you have to drive through or into this area of deep snow, proceed with additional caution. Accidents may result from abrupt changes in visibility and perhaps slick roads.
United Robots offers a service called Advance Local Weather Alerts that gathers the most recent information from the National Weather Service using machine learning.
