Winter weather in Pennsylvania can lead to hazardous road conditions, power outages, and health risks such as frostbite and hypothermia. Nearly 75% of winter weather-related fatalities occur on highways, highlighting the dangers of icy and snowy roads. Additionally, exposure to extreme cold and wind can cause severe health issues, especially for those unprepared.
