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. <\/p>\n
While snowfall is still happening across parts of central Pennsylvania, it\u2019s winding down, National Weather Service meteorologist Matthew Peare told PennLive. <\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Peare told PennLive people should be careful of blowing snow from strong winds and to be cautious while shoveling. <\/p>\n
