Intense snowstorm restricts travel along Lake Erie in northeastern Ohio

An intense lake effect snowstorm was expected to blanket portions of northeastern Ohio and northwestern Pennsylvania with up to 30 inches of snow on Friday night and today, making travel “dangerous and nearly impossible” along Lake Erie, the National Weather Service said.

The snow should begin lifting north this morning, the agency said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation temporarily closed Interstate 90 from Interstate 79 near Erie to the New York state line. Interstate 86 westbound lanes from I-90 to the New York state line also were closed.
