Not long after the first flakes started to hit the ground, accidents started popping up all over Berks County.
A two-door Chevy sedan carrying a mother and her two daughter, on the way to a doctor's appointment, slid off of Painted Sky Road in Exeter Township.
"Everyone was shaken up, but everyone was okay. We didn't go down an embankment, the tree luckily stopped that," said the driver.
Then in the 1000 block of Memorial Highway, in Oley Twp., an SUV lost control and crashed into a postal truck.
Throughout Berks County officials did their best to keep the roads clear.
In Reading the parking authority took to salting the sidewalks around its garages.
Grady Harris was also at work salting his sidewalk because he was worried about children and the elderly slipping and falling.
"Oh yes!" said Harris. "Because it will melt, re-freeze, and tomorrow we do the same thing."
Supermarkets, like C-Town at 6th and Greenwich Street in Reading, were also getting ready for the hundreds of customers preparing to battle the bad weather. Shovels were the hot item
PennDOT is concerned about re-freezing, so crews will be monitoring the roads throughout the night.
