Snow blanketed much of Pennsylvania overnight, dropping several inches across parts of the central and eastern areas of the state and leaving roads snow-covered and slick Monday morning.
While snowfall is still happening across parts of central Pennsylvania, it’s winding down, National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Peare told PennLive.
He said the snow will taper off this afternoon, but wind gusts around 30 mph could cause blowing and drifting snow, and flurries remain possible.
Central Pennsylvania will remain under a winter weather advisory until 1 p.m. The temperature will be a high near 39 degrees with cloudy skies.
The easternmost parts of the state bore the brunt of the storm, with the Philadelphia area and its northern suburbs receiving more than 12 inches of snow, he said.
Peare told PennLive people should be careful of blowing snow from strong winds and to be cautious while shoveling.
The National Weather Service received the following snow accumulation reports so far:
Harrisburg: 4 to 6 inches were reported near Susquehanna Township.
Cumberland: 5.3 inches reported in Mechanicsburg.
York: 5 inches reported in Dillsburg.
