The below video from @NWSPittsburgh shows why the #PaTurnpike says there is no safe place on a highway during a snow squall. If you encounter one while traveling on the @PA_Turnpike Sunday, exit at the first available exit and find a safe place to wait until the snow squall ends

Snow squalls are possible early Sun morning. Conditions deteriorate rapidly in snow squalls & can be deadly on highways with no safe place. Pileups can occur due to hazardous road conditions. If we issue a snow squall warning for your area, delay travel or safely exit highways.
