It has been a long time since the last widespread snow event with no mixing issues (sleet, freezing rain concerns) anywhere in the state! But finally, in the heart of winter during a deep cold snap, here we are. While we did write off the threat for a snowstorm back on Friday, we mentioned the possibility for light snow showers. What we are likely to get isn’t quite a storm, but more so a light snow that gradually adds up over 12-18 hours.

There is some disagreement regarding when light snow will start in Southern PA, with some guidance having flakes falling as early as dinnertime Monday. The same goes for when snow will move out, some models suggesting Tuesday morning while others suggest not until the Tuesday PM commute. The timing forecast is subject to change, and we recommend downloaded our app “PA Weather” for timing for your area.

Josh has been passionate about weather as long as his memory dates! From watching the Weather Channel at age 7, to making hand-drawn hurricane maps at age 11, starting his first weather site at 13, and founding PWA at 15 and forecasting for the state for the past 9 years, Josh's interest in weather has never dwindled! As difficult as it is, he greatly enjoys forecasting for Pennsylvania due to its countless microclimates. The state is an East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
