HARRISVILLE, Pa. —
Residents of Butler County are dealing with significant snowfall and extreme temperatures, with some areas receiving nearly two feet of snow over the weekend.
“It’s been a while since we’ve had this much snow,” said Derek Shaffer. “But, I mean — Pennsylvania.”
In Harrisville, neighbors reported about a foot of snow on Sunday, followed by an additional 2-4 inches on Monday.
While the snowfall eased up Tuesday, the cold temperatures posed a new challenge.
“The snow is not so bad today. It’s a little colder today, though, for sure,” said Shaffer.
Despite the freezing conditions, residents took advantage of the first day they could begin clearing the snow, determined to get the job done.
“I just kept my head down and kept going. I just wanted to get my car out,” said Shaffer.
“I’m just running the sidewalks on the main streets and just cleaning them off,” said Alex Coulter, who used a Bobcat to move the snow. “There’s almost 2 feet of snow out here, and a lot of people just can’t shovel.”
The community spirit in the town was evident as neighbors helped each other plow through the snow.
“I had the machine out today, and I figured I might as well just do the sidewalks. It’s the perfect size,” said Coulter.
“Everything just came down pretty hard, and we’re all helping each other out,” said Nicholas Hudak.
Residents and those in the area anticipate it will take days to completely clear the snow covering Butler County.
