Checking On Road Conditions Across Pittsburgh Area Following Winter Storm
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- After a winter storm blanketed the city of Pittsburgh in snow, KDKA's Chris Hoffman took to the mobile weather lab to see what road conditions were like.
Several roadways showed new snow from overnight along with leftover snow from the previous day.
We're now near the Pittsburgh/Mt. Oliver line on Ormsby Ave. It looks like snow from last night mixed with leftover snow from yesterday. @KDKA pic.twitter.com/SA2T2vy1OO

The Mobile Weather Lab visited parts of the city in Mt. Oliver, Carrick, and Arlington to check out road conditions.
This is Westmont Ave. in Carrick. We have seen road crews out this morning trying to get to these areas. @KDKA pic.twitter.com/Xe15wBNBEc

Governor Wolf issued a disaster emergency declaration for this massive storm.
The state emergency management director says one concern about the storm was making sure COVID-19 vaccinations get to their intended destinations.
PennDOT has implemented several restrictions on highways.
Most of those highways are in the Eastern part of the state, but two that could have a local impact are the Tier 1 restrictions from the Pa. Turnpike to state line and Tier 3 restrictions from Breezewood to Harrisburg.
