At 1:39 p.m. on Saturday, the National Weather Service issued an updated lake effect snow warning for Northern Erie and Southern Erie that would last until Tuesday at 7 a.m.
“Snow with a strong lake effect. There will be another 2 to 6 inch snow accumulation today. Over the course of Sunday through Tuesday morning, another 10 to 20 inches may fall. According to the forecast service, this would increase the storm’s total snowfall to 4 to 6 feet, with the northern part of the county receiving the biggest amounts. With snowfall rates of one to two inches per hour, heavy lake effect snow is predicted to persist throughout Tuesday. The I-90 corridor and the north are predicted to see the largest accumulations, with totals rapidly dropping to the south. As the heaviest band moves north over Lake Erie before reappearing on Sunday, there may be a little break in snowfall this evening into the night. In order to account for the continued considerable consequences and the possibility of snowfall, the warning will remain in effect during this lull. Travel should be avoided unless it is absolutely required.
“Roads will probably get slippery and dangerous, especially bridges and overpasses. Snowfall and blowing might cause visibility to plummet below 1/4 mile. Travel will be dangerous and maybe fatal due to the anticipated whiteout conditions. Postponing travel is advised because it is not feasible. The meteorological office warns 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.
