| Episode Narrative | As warm air headed north ahead of low pressure moving into the Ohio Valley freezing rain quickly developed across much of eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia, and Garrett county Maryland. Untreated roadways quickly accumulated up to one tenth of an inch of ice making travel nearly impossible between 6 AM and 10 AM. Major interstates in and around Pittsburgh, including the Pennsylvania Turnpike were closed for more than 2 hours until roads could be treated and surface temperatures warmed above freezing. 911 centers across the area received thousands of call due to minor accidents. 2 more serious accidents resulted in 2 deaths, one in Beaver county, PA and one in Westmoreland county, PA. |
