A Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) of excessive rainfall is in effect Tuesday. Read More >
Overview
This Alberta Clipper acted VERY much like we thought it would. The heaviest snow fell in the Laurels, and along and south of the Turnpike. Locations north of i-80 had very little snow at all. A heavy burst of snow over Adams and York Counties (some reports of 2-4 inches) in the evening hours on Wed made things interesting there, though. |
