Cold Air Moves In, Roads Slowly Improving In Bucks Co.

BUCKS COUNTY, PA — With schools and most county and municipal offices closed today, road crews are working overtime to clear the streets from the heavy snow and ice from Sunday's storm.

"Road conditions remain hazardous," reported the Doylestown Township Police Department Monday morning. "Please stay off the roads if possible. If travel is necessary, slow down and make sure your vehicle is completely cleared of ice and snow before heading out."

In Doylestown Borough, public works crews were removing snow on Hamilton, Harvey and Shewell Monday morning. They will continue into the evening, clearing the borough's snow emergency routes.

According to Facebook reports and PennDOT traffic cameras, Interstate 295 in Lower Bucks is wet and so is the Newtown Bypass with some patches of snow. Many of the side streets are still snow-covered.
