Severe Thunderstorms and Heavy Rainfall in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes; Winter Weather in the Northern Tier

A slow moving front extending from the Great Lakes region into the Plains will bring snow, wintry mix, and ice accumulation north of the front from the Upper Midwest into New England, and severe weather and heavy rain south of the front. Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging gusts, severe hail, and heavy rain are expected across parts of the Great Lakes/Midwest through tonight. Read More >

Overview

This Alberta Clipper acted VERY much like we thought it would. The heaviest snow fell in the Laurels, and along and south of the Turnpike. Locations north of i-80 had very little snow at all. A heavy burst of snow over Adams and York Counties (some reports of 2-4 inches) in the evening hours on Wed made things interesting there, though.
