PA TURNPIKE SNOW EMERGENCY-OHIO LINE TO JERSEY BORDER
Hey Family,
Heads up if you need the Pennsylvania Turnpike today. There is a speed restriction of 45 mph maximum for the length of the state.
Numerous accidents are complicating matters. High vehicles such as certain trucks and RVs are prohibited entirely.
Wow...it is Friday, right?
Have a safe weekend!

PITTSBURGH PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED 2/26!
Hello Family,
A late announcement from the Superintendent: All Pittsburgh Public schools are closed. I hope you all got this announcement, but in case some of you parents have already left for working thinking the kids are on their way to school, no go.
There are accidents everywhere, and the PA Tunrpike is closed between Breezewood and Fulton Co. line. Major accident.
There is an accident on the Parkway East at Swissvale entrance ramp, and it is slowing things down in both directions. Parkway North and West are no better.
If you don't have to be out there, stay home.
It is predicted that there will be an additional 2-4 inches of snow in Pittsburgh proper, and 4-6 in the counties north and east, and in the Laurel Highlands and West Virginia and MD, 6-12 inches more.
Happy Friday.
Peace,
Falcon and Dove
