Western Pennsylvania is bracing for a winter wallop! Live Drive 4 is bringing you the latest on the snowy conditions, and it's not looking great for drivers. But here's the real scoop:
Canonsburg's roads are treacherous. Our reporter braved the elements to give us a firsthand account. The roads are slippery, with a significant build-up of snow, making driving a challenge. And this is just the beginning! The snowstorm is expected to intensify, with up to 8 inches of snow in some areas by Sunday morning.
PENNDOT is on high alert. They've imposed speed restrictions on major highways like I-79 and I-70, reducing the limit to 45 mph. Their crews are working tirelessly, pre-treating and clearing roadways to ensure safer travel. But they also advise caution, urging residents to avoid driving unless necessary.
Shoppers are preparing. Hardware stores are bustling as people stock up on shovels, ice melt, and winter essentials. It's a race against time as stores struggle to keep these items in stock. But for those who prepared in advance, it's a chance to help out neighbors and family.
Snowfall is widespread. Pittsburgh's Action Weather meteorologist Jeff Verszyla predicts snow showers throughout the evening, tapering off early Sunday. The Laurel Highlands and areas south of Pittsburgh are expected to bear the brunt of the storm.
