The wider storm

An intense snow squall with 50 mph wind gusts moved east across Northeast Pennsylvania during the afternoon. The snow quickly caused roads to become slick and dramatically reduced visibilities. A 68 vehicle pileup occurred on Interstate 81 Northbound near mile-marker 140 between the McAdoo and Hazle Township exits. Dozens of people were injured with one death.
