Our long-awaited snowstorm is nearly here, and in the last 24 hours since our second call, there have been some changes to increase expected snowfall in much of Central and Western PA. As usual, the most complicated, high stakes area is where rain and sleet will mix in, which is across South Central and Southeast PA. There will almost certainly be a few surprises in those areas, in the form of a bit more or less snow than anticipated. Both areas where 6-8″ and 8-12″ are expected have dramatically increased in size, which you will see below. Timing has also moved up a fair amount, so please view the latest time tables below.
