Snowfall and blowing may cause visibility to decrease below 1/4 mile. Traveling could be challenging. The weather service notes that the dangerous circumstances may affect Monday morning and evening commutes. “If you have to go, make sure your car has food, drink, and an additional flashlight in case of an emergency. The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation strongly advise drivers to observe all traffic laws and postpone needless travel. People ought to think about postponing all of their travel. If a driver must travel, they should be extremely careful. The weather during lake effect snow might range from dry conditions a few miles distant to bands of heavy snow locally. Visibilities can differ significantly as well. Be ready for sudden changes in road conditions, visibility, and weather.
