Stroudsburg, PA – A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for Carbon and Monroe Counties in northeastern Pennsylvania, where a mix of snow and light ice is expected to create hazardous travel conditions throughout the day on Wednesday, December 10, according to the National Weather Service in Mount Holly, New Jersey.
The advisory is in effect from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST Wednesday and includes areas such as Jim Thorpe, Stroudsburg, and the surrounding Pocono region. Forecasters predict 2 to 4 inches of snow and a light glaze of ice, enough to make roads and sidewalks slick and hazardous.
The wintry mix is expected to begin early Wednesday morning, potentially affecting the morning commute, and may transition between snow, sleet, and freezing rain through the afternoon before tapering off by evening.
Drivers are urged to slow down, allow extra travel time, and check 511PA.com for updated road conditions. Even minor ice accumulation can make untreated roads and elevated surfaces—such as bridges—extremely slippery.
