As a forecaster, snow squalls are one of the most dangerous weather phenomenons we have to forecast. You can go from a perfectly calm day, to blizzard conditions within a couple minutes, putting motorists at extreme risk. Today, unfortunately there has been many reports of accidents across the state. One of the hardest hit areas was the State College area.

Bottom line is whenever there is a chance for snow squalls, please check the radar before you go out driving. You do not want to be caught out driving in it.

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 seven 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 a East Coast severe weather hotspot and nearly always home to the rain/snow line during winter storms!
