Butler County is in much better shape Wednesday morning but PennDOT is still warning drivers to take it easy on the roadways and watch out for icy spots.
Temperatures did drop into the 20s overnight, meaning that any leftover moisture from the rain and snow on Tuesday likely did re-freeze and become icy. Watch for slick spots on the roadways, sidewalks, driveways, etc. If you slip on a pavement then you may be entitled to compensation. Take a look at the timeline of a slip and fall case if you would like more information.
According to the National Weather Service, we can expect light snow showers after 9am. Daytime snow accumulation will likely be less than half an inch. Cloudy skies and a high near 32.
Emergency crews are dealing with a few issues early Wednesday.
