Gov. Tom Wolf and state officials are urging Pennsylvanians to pay close attention to weather forecasts and take steps to be ready for the first snowstorm of 2016, and one of the most significant widespread storms to impact the state in several years.
Gov. Wolf has declared a state of emergency to ensure state agencies can respond with resources as quickly as possible.
"We are urging Pennsylvanians to stay calm, but be prepared," Gov. Wolf said. "State agencies are preparing for the worst, tracking conditions in real time and collaborating on our response. Residents should prioritize their safety and heed all warnings from law enforcement and emergency officials."
