The snow is set to make a third trip to the Susquehanna Valley for the week on Saturday.
PennDOT crews are getting ready to clear the roads yet again in what has amounted to a busy week.
.
PennDOT says that while many of the area roads are already pre-treated, the 3-4 inches of snow will require crews to get out on area roads and plow away some snow.
"We're getting ready as you can see behind us," demonstrated PennDOT Spokesman Mike Crochunis.
PennDOT Crews have been busy this week, pre-treating and laying down salt on area roads.
PennDOT crews will gather around 4 a.m. Saturday morning to grab some salt to spread on the roads.
In Dauphin County, 42 PennDOT trucks will go out to treat for the snow, but they're hoping the job will be easier than earlier this week.
"This storm seems to be not as tricky as the last one dealing with the time it's coming in," Crochunis addressed.
While this storm is not as tricky as the ones we saw earlier this week, you should still drive carefully on the roads.
"Take the necessary precautions such as stay back from any vehicles that you may see that are plowing or treating the roadways, whether it be on the Turnpike or in the Harrisburg area or whether you're up in Scranton," Crochunis reminded.
PennDOT takes care of most major roadways, but it's possible some roads you travel on may not be clear Saturday morning.
"Don't take any chances when it comes to intersections with snow on the road, of course you're braking distance is going to be greatly increased," Crochunis reminded.
And even if the road is clear of snow, it could still be slippery.
"Be cautious. If you see the road is wet and you're dealing with air temperatures that are below freezing, of course anything can freeze," Crochunis advised.
You may have seen some crews out Friday in Southern York and Lancaster Counties treating the roads, that's because the rain took a lot of it off the roads. But up in Dauphin, Cumberland, and Lebanon County, a lot of the treatment is still on the roads.
