PennDOT said they are working in 12 hour shifts.
Chris Hoffman took to the roadways in the KDKA Mobile Weather Lab tracking conditions east of Pittsburgh in Westmoreland County.
We are now in the mobile weather lab taking a look at the roads. I would recommend taking your time this morning. Some are in better shape that others. @KDKA pic.twitter.com/bDaXxZmeHM
