COUNTIES, THOUGH NOT AS MUCH AS THE OTHERS. AND REMEMBER, YOU CAN ALWAYS WATCH US ON THE WGAL APP IF YOU ARE WITHOUT POWER. WELL, SNOW ALSO FELL IN OTHER AREAS IN THE NORTHEAST, INCLUDING PHILADELPHIA AND PARTS OF NEW JERSEY AND NEW YORK. THAT HEAVY, WET SNOW, JUST LIKE WE’RE EXPERIENCING, MAY BE TOUGH TO SHOVEL. IT ALSO MEANS, AS WE’VE JUST BEEN MENTIONING WITH MORRISSEY AND THOSE POWER OUTAGES, THAT THE EXTRA WEIGHT ON THE POWER LINES COULD TAKE THEM DOWN. IT COULD ALSO TAKE DOWN TREES OR LEAD TO ROOF COLLAPSES. AND DOCTORS ARE CAUTIONING THAT SHOVELING CAN SPIKE YOUR HEART RATE AND YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S HEAVY SNOW. THEY SAY EACH YEAR, DOZENS OF PEOPLE ACROSS THE COUNTRY DO DIE FROM SHOVELING SNOW, SO BE CAUTIOUS OUT THERE. WE ARE ALSO SEEING MORE THAN 400 CLOSINGS AND DELAYS AND SNOW EMERGENCIES ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY THAT WE’VE BEEN MENTIONING THROUGHOUT THIS NEWSCAST. YOU CAN FIND ALL OF THEM AGAIN ON OUR WEBSITE, WGAL.COM. OR JUST LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR SCREEN AND GETTING THAT WGAL APP IS A GOOD IDEA.

After starting as a rain/snow mix on Sunday and turning to mostly snow overnight, the south-central Pennsylvania region picked up about 2 to 5 inches of snow, with some areas seeing 5 to 8 inches.
