Since it began early Friday morning, the lake effect storm has dumped several feet of snow in some areas. The snow fell at such an unrelenting pace that street crews have been unable to keep pace. Hundreds of holiday travelers were stranded on major highways Friday like i-90 and had to abandon their cars.

PennDOT on Sunday temporarily reduced the speed limit to 45 mph on I-90 from I-79 to the New York line and on I-86 from the New York line to I-90.
