Description
Lake Effect Snow Warning issued December 5 at 5:18AM EST until December 6 at 8:00PM EST by NWS State College PA
* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow. Additional snow accumulations
between 3 and 12 inches. Winds gusting as high as 45 mph.
* WHERE...Cameron, Elk, McKean, Potter, and Warren Counties.
* WHEN...Until 8 PM EST Friday.
* IMPACTS...Whiteout conditions are expected at times and will make
travel difficult and treacherous. The strong winds combined with
the weight of snow on tree limbs may down power lines and could
cause sporadic power outages. Areas of blowing snow could
significantly reduce visibility.
Persons should consider delaying all travel. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution. Consider taking a winter
storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains,
booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.
Also take water, a first aid kit, and anything else that would help
you survive in case you become stranded.
During lake effect snow, the weather can vary from bands of locally
heavy snow to dry weather just a few miles away. Visibilities can
also vary greatly. Be prepared for rapid changes in weather,
visibility, and road conditions.
