PennDOT officials said deer hunting left crews short handed as a weekend storm hit the Pittsburgh area. Salt trucks took up to five hours to reach highways in Allegheny County and major arteries remained clogged after two inches of snow fell Sunday.

John Weber called it hunting season and noted scarce regular crews and private contractors helped with snow removal.
