At 9:42 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 an additional 12 to 24 inches of snow in northern Erie County through Tuesday morning, while southern Erie County will have 10 to 20 inches. In northern Erie County, this would result in storm totals of 4 to 6 feet. Higher quantities could occur locally, particularly in northern Erie County, the weather agency said. Early Sunday morning is predicted to see the return of heavy lake effect snow in northern Erie County. By late Sunday morning, the snow will be in southern Erie County. There may be periods of 1 to 2 inches of snowfall every hour from Sunday into Tuesday early. The I-90 corridor and the north are predicted to have the largest accumulations.
“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. Particularly in northern Erie County, where many places have already received 30 to 45 inches of snow, travel may become extremely challenging or impossible. 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.
