The storms kept road crews busy with salting operations taking place Saturday and plowing needed for Sunday’s system.

Slushy areas and water from melted snow froze overnight and created slick spots on area roadways.
PennDOT trucks were out working to keep roads clear Monday morning as drivers began hitting Route 13 in Bristol Township and Oxford Valley Road in Falls Township.
