| episode_narrative | The coldest air mass of the winter season moved in behind the snow storm of the 2nd and 3rd. Except for the local Philadelphia area, most low temperatures dipped below zero the mornings of the 5th and 6th. A new record low of -6F was set the morning of the 5th at the Lehigh Valley International Airport (Allentown). The old record was 1F. Also on the morning of the 5th, the low temperature of 3F in Philadelphia swelled homeless shelters to capacity. Low temperatures the morning of the 5th included -12F in East Stroudsburg, -11F in Tobyhanna, -10F in Long Pond and Sellersville, -8F in Crum Creek, -6F in Jundale, and -3F in Doylestown. Low temperatures the morning of the sixth were a few degrees "warmer", except in Berks County where readings bottomed at -4F in Hamburg and -7F in Hopewell Furnace. No serious cold related injuries were reported. |
