After a week of warmer temperatures and many areas of Pennsylvania reaching 60 to even 70 degrees, it’s understandable that cold air won’t be in place for this storm in 90% of the state. However, the coldest region of the state – the northern mountains, will be seeing snowfall on Sunday.
This storm is so thread the needle in Northern PA, and most towns are in valleys which further complicates things. Elevation and latitude will play a huge role in this event. Mountaintops will receive noticeably more snowfall than surrounding valleys. Also, temperatures will be above freezing as the snow falls in the valleys, but we expect snowfall rates to cause roadway accumulations regardless.
