PennDOT tells KDKA-TV's Amy Wadas they will have 65 snow plows in Allegheny County alone, with drivers on 12-hour shifts until the storm has passed.
They expect this to be one of the bigger storms seen in the area this year so far.
They say they will not treat the roads, as there is residual salt down currently.
Advice for drivers from PennDOT:
- Give yourself some extra time heading to work in the morning.
- Slow down.
- Give yourself plenty of stopping distance between you and the car in front of you.
- Let the salt trucks do their job.
