The snow was really coming down in the State College area.
|

|
US 322 and US 220, together with I-99.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is the first mention of I-80 along I-99.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The PennDOT snowplows had the road clear of snow. Apparently the salt was working well because there were no slick spots on the roadway despite the pouring snow.
|
|
|
Shiloh Road at PA 150. The reason for this stop was the red and yellow awning at right. Yes, that's a Sheetz!!!!
|
|
Back on Shiloh Road approaching I-99.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notice how the snow has disappeared.

|
|
Approaching the end of the four-lane and the end of I-99.
|
|
The four-lane tapers to two lanes approaching the I-80 interchange. You can see an "End I-99" sign at the right but somehow I missed that as I was driving and didn't get a photo of the sign itself.
|
|
|
State name sign for I-80 ... and we're already on US 220!
|
|
|
|
Heading east on I-80, having clinched I-99.
|
|
|
|
|
Pretty view along I-80 eastbound.

"No services" is right. This exit leads to a PennDOT maintenance facility. Mile Run Road continues as a gravel state forest road across the mountain to Lycoming County. I used this route to visit Lycoming County, and if I didn't have a 4WD truck, I probably wouldn't have made it. The road is not maintained in winter and it only had two or three tire tracks in the snow.

|
This is on Mile Run Road at the interstate.
|
Back on I-80.

Another view of the countryside along I-80. On this day, traffic was light.

Empty gantry. Wonder what used to be on this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now heading north on I-81. This exit leads over to PA 309.
