Typical storm total precipitation across southern parts of Pennsylvania were in excess of an inch, with over 2 inches reported in Somerset and Bedford counties where the precipitation fell as snow. Heavy wet snow totaled up to 22 inches in Somerset County at Mount Davis, with 4 to 8 inch accumulations reported across the central mountains as far north as Altoona and 4 to 5 inches into Clearfield and State College. Some higher amounts included 16 inches at Buffalo Mills in Bedford County, 14 inches in Myersdale, Somerset County, and 11 inches at Laurel Summit in Cambria County. At lower elevations, amounts ranged from 4 to 8 inches, with 7 inches reported in Altoona and 6 inches in Johnstown. Across much of the Cumberland Valley from Greencastle northeast to Chambersburg and Carlisle, much of the precipitation fell as a mix of rain, sleet, and snow, but up to 5 inches of snow fell in the Shippensburg area. |
