Heavy snow covering trees and a road in Southcentral Pennsylvania during a winter storm.

News Summary

Southcentral Pennsylvania is preparing for a winter storm as two weather systems are expected to hit the area on February 11-12, 2025. The first storm is anticipated to bring up to 5 inches of snow, along with potential travel disruptions due to slippery roads. A second storm will bring a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Local residents are advised to stay informed and prepare for winter conditions as temperatures drop significantly. PennDOT has also announced restrictions on Interstate 83 to ensure safety during the storms.

Snow in the Forecast: Southcentral Pennsylvania Prepares for Winter Storms

The good folks of Southcentral Pennsylvania are bracing themselves as two winter storms are set to sweep through the area on February 11-12, 2025. It’s time to dig out those snow shovels and stock up on hot chocolate, because we’re in for quite a ride!

What to Expect This Week

The first storm is making its grand entrance on Tuesday afternoon, likely arriving just in time for that evening rush hour. Snow is expected to begin falling after 5 p.m. and the National Weather Service predicts we could see between 2 to 4 inches of snow across York County, with some lucky spots possibly hitting 5 inches. So, keep those winter boots handy!

Parts of Southcentral Pennsylvania, including Adams and York counties, have already received a winter weather advisory. If you plan to travel on Tuesday, prepare for some slippery roads as conditions might get a tad dicey, particularly during evening commutes.

Stay Informed: What the Predictions Say

As we glide into Wednesday, hold onto your hats! The second storm rolls in Wednesday evening and stretches into Thursday morning. This time, we might see a chaotic mix involving snow, sleet, and even some freezing rain. Sounds delightful, doesn’t it?

Temperatures are taking a nosedive, dropping to the mid-20s Monday night, and not looking much better on Tuesday with highs only reaching the mid-30s. In true winter fashion, precipitation from the second storm is expected to change into rain shortly after midnight on Thursday, bringing relief from the icy grip of the snowstorm. By Thursday, we could be looking at highs nearing 50 degrees, which might just do the trick to melt away that snow accumulation.

Travel Heads-Up!

After the storms clear, residents should prepare for slippery road conditions and potential travel disruptions. Roads that aren’t treated may get quite snowpacked, so it’s best to take it easy if you need to head out. The National Weather Service has cautioned that road conditions might worsen during the evening commute on Tuesday, so it’s wise to plan ahead.

Interestingly, while we wrestle with the snow, meteorologists suggest that these winter storms may actually help relieve some moderate-to-severe drought conditions that have settled over the region. The upside to the white stuff, perhaps?

What Comes Next?

Once the chaos from the storms subsides, Friday greets us with a sunny sky and highs near 42 degrees, which could be a nice breather post-storm. However, keep your umbrellas handy; there is a 20% chance of wintry weather making a return Friday night into Saturday.

Looking a bit further ahead, forecasts hint at additional chances for snow and freezing rain in the coming days, so it seems like winter is going to stick around a little while longer in Southcentral Pennsylvania.

Be Prepared on the Roads

In anticipation of the incoming storms, PennDOT has implemented Tier 4 restrictions for Interstate 83 starting at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, prohibiting certain vehicles during the storm period. Stay safe out there!

In conclusion, as Southcentral Pennsylvania gears up for these winter storms, remember to check your supplies, travel wisely, and keep a watchful eye on the weather updates. Stay warm and safe, and embrace whatever winter throws our way!
