Live updates: What to know about snow emergencies, closures & more in Centre County

A winter storm dropped several inches of snow across Centre County on Sunday night into Monday morning.

According to the National Weather Service, areas of Centre County saw as much as 7 inches of snow from the storm, which started late Sunday afternoon.

A winter weather advisory was lifted at 10 a.m. Monday, though the NWS issued a wind advisory for 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation urged motorists to avoid unnecessary travel during the storm. Speed limit and vehicle restrictions were in place on highways including all of Interstate 99. The winter weather restrictions on Interstates 99 and 80 were lifted at about 8:30 a.m. Sunday.

“Plan on slippery road conditions,” the NWS advisory stated. “The hazardous conditions will impact the morning commute.”

That was echoed Sunday by Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency Executive Deputy Director Jeff Thomas, in anticipation of Winter Storm Izzy’s impact through the state. The storm will bring heavy snow to the western half of the state and a mix of snow, sleet and rain to much of the eastern half, according to a PEMA news release.

“This is a complex storm that will make travel difficult, if not downright treacherous, at times during the overnight hours and into Monday morning,” Thomas said in the release. “PEMA will be in close contact with our county emergency management and state agency partners to stay aware of conditions and provide help when needed.”
