Central Pennsylvanians have been experiencing cold weather for the past week. ABC 27 Meteorologist Dan Tomaso says it’s due to low pressure that has been keeping slightly below average temperatures.
“It’s not extremely cold, but it’s cold enough that we’re seeing highs around freezing, maybe a little bit below nighttime. Temperatures in the 20s, nighttime temperatures in the teens and the coldest spots, but also the really persistent wind. And I think that’s what people really get tired of this time of the year, that when we keep getting these drops of cold air coming in from the north, unfortunately, that means we keep getting rounds of cold air. Chances for some light snow.”
Temperatures from this month compared to last year’s are about five to ten degree below average.
“It seems like every passing snowstorm we get is maybe 1 or 2in. And so, heading into late Friday night, early Saturday morning, we do expect another kind of brush by of light snow, 1 to 2in, likely two inches might be really the high point at this at this stage. And then early next week, there’s another type of clipper that usually means some light snow. Maybe it’s Monday or Tuesday timeframe and then possibly another next Thursday into Friday.”
