PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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 delay 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.

Please report snow or ice accumulations via the North Central WV Skywarn
Net, by posting to the NWS Pittsburgh Facebook page, or using
X at NWSPittsburgh.
