The beauty and treachery of snow

— As momentum builds towards Christmas, so do the snow piles.

Those able to enjoy the white magic from the warmth and safety of home Tuesday had the best deal. Pictured are cars negotiating — with various levels of success — a snow-slicked Log Tavern Road on Tuesday afternoon. Dingman officers came to the aid of drivers in need.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is urging motorists Tuesday to avoid unnecessary travel, and has reduced speed limits to 45 miles on much of I-80. To check conditions on state roads call 511 or visit 511PA.com. Regional Twitter alerts are also available on the 511PA website.
