Erie County snow storm impacts: What’s closed still, how much snow has fallen
A Bobcat skid-steer loader removes snow from driveway in 100 block of Lincoln Avenue in Erie, Pa., on Dec. 1, 2024.
A Bobcat skid-steer loader removes snow from a driveway in the 100 block of Lincoln Avenue in Erie, Pa., on Dec. 1, 2024. The house is about a block south of a bluff that overlooks Presque Isle Bay and Lake Erie, and the lake-effect storm dumped about 3 feet of snow on the neighborhood.
The snow emergency that has closed schools, businesses and government buildings throughout Erie County as flakes continue to fall on feet already on the ground hasn’t slowed the workload for area first responders.
Crews were out braving the elements Monday morning responding to a number of calls. They included a reported fire at the Millcreek Mall Pavilion, which was reported at 6:03 a.m., according to Erie County 911; a water break at Old Zuck Road and West Grandview Boulevard, according to Erie Water Works; and ongoing reports of vehicles stuck and/or abandoned on streets in Erie, according to the Erie Bureau of Police.
The Erie Bureau of Fire wasn’t called out to any fires or emergency medical calls as of 7:45 a.m. Monday, but continue to deal with terrible roads, abandoned cars and fire trucks getting stuck, Deputy Chief John Herrmann said.
Additional resources including the Pennsylvania National Guard have been called in to assist in dealing with the heavy and ongoing snowfall that has buried Erie County since Friday.
The biggest issue for emergency responders over the weekend was making roads accessible, Brian Mesaros, Erie County’s emergency management coordinator, said Monday morning. Plow crews are continuing to clear those roads, with most opened Monday morning, he said.
Emergency management officials are starting to experience issues related to snow loads on buildings, Mesaros said, particularly on trailers and small structures. There were two reported roof collapses at a trailer park in North East Township on Sunday night, and a couple of roof collapses were reported in the county on Monday morning, he said.
Mesaros cautioned people not to put themselves in danger by trying to clear their roofs on their own. There are contractors out there that do the work, although they might be busy, he said.
How much snow has fallen?
As of Sunday night, snow spotters with the National Weather Service in Cleveland measured 57.5 inches of snow in Girard, 50.2 inches of snow in North East, between 45.2 and 48 inches in Harborcreek Township and 42.5 inches near Erie from the storm, according to the latest data posted on the NWS Cleveland website.
And more snow is on the way, as a lake effect snow warning remains in place for Erie, Crawford and counties to the east and west through Tuesday night. Forecasters are predicting additional accumulations of eight to 15 inches for much of Erie County, with up to 20 inches possible in the far northeastern corner of the county, according to information on the NWS Cleveland website.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro on Saturday signed a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency for Erie County to make additional resources including the National Guard available to support response efforts.
Shapiro reported in a news release announcing the declaration that, between 6 a.m. Friday and 6 a.m. Saturday, the Pennsylvania State Police responded to nearly 200 incidents.
Vehicle restrictions
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Monday morning that Tier 2 vehicle restrictions remain in place along Interstate 90 from the Ohio to the New York state lines, on Interstate 86 from I-90 to the New York state line, and along I-79 from the Meadville exit to the highway’s end in Erie County.
Under the restrictions, vehicles including tractors without trailers, tractors towing unloaded or lightly loaded trailers, passenger vehicles towing trailers, recreational vehicles and school buses are not permitted on those roadways.
Speed limits are reduced to 45 mph on I-90 from I-79 east to the New York state line and on I-86 from I-90 to the New York state line.

A new report from U-Haul shows where Pennsylvania residents are leaving to and where new residents are coming from in 2025. Here’s what to know about U-Haul’s top 10 states with the most and least growth numbers.
Eight warm weather states made U-Haul’s top 10 growth list for 2025, while eight states in the colder Northeast and Midwest filled out the bottom 10, including Pennsylvania and neighboring New York, New Jersey, and Ohio. Delaware ranked 21 out of 50 states in growth for 2025.
U-Haul also noted besides geography, that seven of the 10 states with the most growth featured Republican governors, nine of which went red in the last presidential election, and 9 out of 10 in the bottom growth states featured Democrat governors, seven of which went blue in the last presidential election.
“We continue to find that life circumstances — marriage, children, a death in the family, college, jobs and other events — dictate the need for most moves,” said John “J.T.” Taylor, U-Haul International president in press release. Adding, “But other factors can be important to people who are looking to change their surroundings. In-migration states are often appealing to those customers.”
U-Haul ranks states growth based on their one-way customer transactions that rented trucks, trailers or moving containers in one state and dropped it off in another state. Their growth index included over 2.5 million annual one-way transactions across the United States and Canada.
Texas holds the number one U-Haul growth state for the seventh time in the last 10 years while California ranked last for the sixth year in a how.
Pennsylvania’s growth rank for 2025 remained at a low 46 out of 50 states, same as 2024, and compared relatively similar to its growth numbers over the last 10 years, according to U-Haul’s data, with the exception during 2022-2023 when its highest growth numbers hit 24 out of 50 in 2022 and 38 out of 50 in 2023.
Oregon, Mississippi, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Louisiana and Montana were among the biggest year-over-year gainers in 2025 compared to U-Haul’s 2024 rankings, while Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Iowa, Delaware and Nebraska saw the biggest drops.
While the national average rent in the U.S. sits at approximately $1,623 per month (0.4% higher than this time last year) the Keystone State boasts a lower rent average at approximately $1,526 per month (1.9% higher than last year), according to Apartments.com. It is ranked 34th least expensive rent by state.
Here’s what to know about Pennsylvania and what states saw the most and least growth in 2025 according to U-Haul.

Designed by Gensler and HDR, in association with Luis Vidal + Architects, the transformed Pittsburgh International Airport Terminal aims to create a more tranquil passenger experience while celebrating Western Pennsylvania’s identity. Completed in November, it is entirely powered by its own microgrid that uses natural gas and solar energy. A skybridge connects the new headhouse—which con- solidates all major airport operations into a single structure—to a modernized terminal concourse. The roof, which consists of staggered peaks that frame clere- story windows, evokes the Allegheny Mountains, while branching columns recall trees. Augmenting the many nods to the region, the team included four verdant terraces fea- turing native plants, which are sustained by rainwater-harvesting systems.
