PennDOT Urges Motorists to Drive with Caution during Winter Storm

PennDOT is advising motorists in north central Pennsylvania to take extra care when driving in winter weather.

The department currently is treating roads in the region and will continue to do so in preparation for snow, sleet and freezing rain forecast for tonight into tomorrow morning.

Drivers still could encounter slick spots on the roadway, especially on bridges and overpasses. PennDOT reminds motorists to slow down and drive according to the conditions they encounter when winter storms hit.
