At 7:36 a.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service issued an updated weather notice for Montour and Columbia counties, predicting heavy snow through 8:30 a.m.
The weather service said that “a band of heavy snow was over Danville moving east at 40 MPH at 7:35 a.m.”
The following places are affected by the alert: Jerseytown, Rupert, Rohrsburg, Iola, Mainville, Eyers Grove, Mooresburg, Exchange, Bloomsburg, Berwick, Danville, Riverside, Catawissa, Mifflinville, Lightstreet, Almedia, Fernville, Mechanicsville, Buckhorn, Jerseytown, Berwick, Danville, Riverside, Catawissa, Mifflinville, and Shumans. This covers the region between the Limestoneville and Nescopek exits, or more precisely, mile markers 218 to 247, for drivers on Interstate 80.
The weather service states that “in winter weather conditions, conditions can deteriorate rapidly.” 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.
