State College, Pa. – Heavy snow and 40 mph wind gusts are impacting central Pennsylvania, creating dangerous travel conditions through Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service in State College, a Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 1 p.m. EST Monday for portions of central Pennsylvania, including Perry, Dauphin, Schuylkill, Lebanon, Cumberland, Adams, York and Lancaster counties.
Additional snow accumulations between 3 and 8 inches are expected, with the heaviest snowfall forecast in eastern portions of Lancaster, Lebanon and Schuylkill counties. Winds may gust as high as 40 mph.

Officials warn that rapidly changing road conditions may impact commuters, students and early-shift workers Monday morning.
The Winter Storm Warning remains in effect until 1 p.m. Monday, when snowfall is expected to taper off across the region.
