The road conditions, a concern for travelers this weekend, will depend on the temperature of the road surface, Schreiber said.

"[The roads] may refreeze and leave ice and cause some accidents ... everyone should be cautious traveling," he said.

Public Works Director Mark Whitfield said they have been preparing for snowfall since mid-October.

Their artillery includes plow trucks, a full bin of salt and a crew of 24 people arriving at 4 a.m.

"We are expecting the snow to start between 3 and 5 a.m., so our game plan is to have a layer of salt out if it snows, and then around 7 a.m. have a full plow crew out and over the roads," Whitfield said.

"If it starts earlier, we'll be ready."

Although this weekend's snowfall may not be record-breaking, Whitfield said he still warns travelers to avoid the roads and not to drive if possible.

"We would prefer people to move their cars from the streets so it takes the trucks less time to clear the roads ... we are very strict on car violations, especially in snow removal zones," he added.

"Our main concern is to keep the roadways open and clear during rush-hour times ... we want safer driving, better and quicker clean-ups," Whitfield said.

Jon Eich, director of administrative services for the Centre County Emergency Management Agency, said he does not think the agency's services will be utilized this weekend.

"We're not anticipating harsh conditions, but if necessary, plans are there and activated," Eich said.
