Updated Dec 15, 2020;
Central Pennsylvanians should use extreme caution if they need to leave home during Wednesday’s nearly 24-hour snowstorm in which 12 to 18 inches could be dumped onto the midstate, forecasters said.
In a winter storm warning, the National Weather Service said “travel could be very difficult to impossible” Wednesday in a number of central Pennsylvania counties. Both the morning and evening commute will be affected by the snow, the NWS said.
“The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission strongly encourage motorists to heed all travel restrictions and delay unnecessary travel as significant winter weather conditions will make travel very hazardous,” the NWS said.
