A powerful winter burst is turning Interstate 84 into a near-invisible corridor of ice and blowing snow across northeastern Pennsylvania this afternoon. Heavy snowfall is falling at an overwhelming rate, erasing lane markings, coating pavement in a slick glaze, and driving visibility down to near zero. Traffic is creeping along as vehicles struggle for traction on hills and curves, while wind-driven snow sweeps back across freshly plowed lanes within minutes. Despite active road crews, conditions continue to deteriorate faster than they can be controlled. State troopers and highway officials are strongly urging drivers to stay off the roads, warning that even short trips could quickly turn dangerous as this intense burst delivers classic northeastern PA winter chaos.
