An Alberta Clipper produced 1 to 2 inches of light snow and slickened roads across southern Lycoming County. Resultant slick roads caused Route 15 to be closed in both directions over the mountain between Fairmont Avenue in South Williamsport and Route 54 in Clinton Township due to multiple accidents, including a jackknifed tractor trailer. The road was closed for a little more than two hours.
