Pennsylvania I-81

We will be traveling to Fl in early December and usually use I-81.

Has anyone been on this road in early Dec. of have any knowledge of the road conditions in early Dec.?????????

I have read about wind, snow, ice, etc. and certainly do not want to encounter any of those conditions with the MH and dingy.

    Usually not too bad early December, but the weather is anyone's guess. Snowed before Halloween last year. PA is pretty good about salting so unless you are right in the storm it shouldn't be slick or icy. Odds are in your favor I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just watch the weather and be flexible on your travel days/times.

    Can be hit or miss at that time of year. Your best chance of snow/ice will be in the northeast corner of PA as I-81 traverses the higher elevations of the Pocono Mtns., etc. It's usually milder the closer you get to the Mason-Dixon Line. I-81 around Harrisburg can be congested - time your trip to avoid the rush hours. Safe travels.
