ERIE, Pa. — Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a Proclamation of Disaster Emergency on Saturday morning to support response efforts in Northwest Pennsylvania after several feet of lake-effect snow fell in the region. According to Shapiro’s office, three feet of snow has already fallen in parts of Erie County — and more is expected through Monday night. This disaster declaration allows Pennsylvania to draw down funding to provide state agencies with resources needed to assist communities impacted by the significant snowfall. More than a dozen Pennsylvania National Guard have been placed on state active duty to help and are working directly with Erie County to rescue stranded motorists and move vehicles. State police responded to nearly 200 incidents on Erie County roadways between 6 a.m. on Nov. 29 and 6 a.m. on Nov. 30, Shapiro’s office said.
