and 15 inches.

Counties.
* WHEN...Until 1 PM EST Monday.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult to impossible. The

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Snow will overspread Northeast PA between 4

into the early evening with hourly rates potentially exceeding 2

throughout this storm, hovering in the upper single digits to
teens the entire time, with colder wind chills.
Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.
Persons should consider delaying all travel if possible. If travel
is absolutely necessary, drive with extreme caution and be prepared
for sudden changes in visibility. Leave plenty of room between you
and the motorist ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your
destination. Avoid sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially
cautious on hills or when making turns. Make sure your car is
winterized and in good working order.
