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
