Senator Lisa Baker issued several advisories and acknowledgments on social media regarding a winter storm affecting Pennsylvania in late January 2026. Her messages addressed both public safety and recognition of essential workers.
On January 24, Senator Baker posted a warning about the impending weather, stating, “PA winter storm watch. Stock up on essentials & avoid unnecessary travel. If you have to go, be sure to pack a winter travel kit. Tips for preventing frozen pipes, avoiding frostbite, preparing emergency supplies & more are available from @PEMAHQ : https://t.co/fK7HCduihu https://t.co/gf0Fv0XuEL”.
The following day, she acknowledged those working during the storm with another post: “A major snowstorm reminds us of the dedicated workers who put the public first. The road crews, utility workers, emergency responders, medical personnel & others pulling difficult & dangerous duty deserve our gratitude. Use caution & good sense to help them help our communities. https://t.co/UJm0ZygAve” (January 25).
On January 26, Senator Baker highlighted a resource for tracking snow plow operations: “The Track My Plow feature at #511PA allows users to see where @PennDOTNews plow trucks are, where they’ve been & what they’ve done. https://t.co/SooJZOPWXa https://t.co/zAm4KUyuL2”.
These communications come as Pennsylvania experiences severe winter weather events that often require coordinated response efforts from state agencies such as the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency (PEMA) and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). Both organizations provide updates and resources for residents during significant storms to minimize disruptions and ensure safety across communities.
