PITTSBURGH — Pennsylvania Department of Transportation crews have been out treating the roads since before noon. They have been using a salt residue solution on the highways and busy county roads in hopes that the snow falls it won't stick.
UPDATE 10 P.M.: The snow is starting to move it, but it's leaving behind wet roads that could pose a freezing risk overnight. Tune in to Channel 11 to see what conditions are where you live overnight and as you prepare to leave home in the morning.
