Lancaster, PA – Drivers across south-central Pennsylvania are urged to use caution Sunday afternoon as light snowfall continues to create slippery road conditions in Lancaster and Lebanon counties.
According to the National Weather Service in State College, a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until 6 p.m. EST Sunday, with additional snow accumulations of up to one inch possible before conditions improve this evening.
The advisory covers Lancaster County and Lebanon County, including the cities of Lancaster and Lebanon, both located east of Harrisburg in central Pennsylvania. Snowfall rates are expected to remain light but steady at times, which can still lead to slick roads, reduced traction, and longer stopping distances—especially on untreated secondary roads.
The National Weather Service warns that even minor accumulation can cause travel issues during peak afternoon hours. Motorists are advised to slow down, increase following distance, and allow extra travel time. Bridges, overpasses, and shaded roadways may become icy faster than surrounding pavement.
State and local road crews continue to monitor conditions, but drivers should be prepared for changing visibility and spotty slick areas through the evening commute. Residents planning to travel are encouraged to check the latest road conditions by dialing 511 or visiting PennDOT’s traffic information website.
No power outages or widespread closures have been reported as of early Sunday afternoon, but officials stress that conditions can change quickly during winter weather events.
