At 1:46 p.m. on Thursday, the National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Crawford County, which would remain in force until 1 a.m. on Saturday.
“Snow with a strong lake effect. There will be an additional 4 to 12 inches of snow accumulation, the weather agency says. “For the remainder of the storm through Friday, lake effect snow bands will continue to be the primary concern. The dense snowpack in northern Crawford County combined with strong wind gusts might cause structural damage.
“Roads will probably get slippery and dangerous, especially bridges and overpasses. Traveling could be somewhat challenging. The meteorological service warns that the dangerous circumstances may affect travel on Thursday night and Friday morning. “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. 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.
