| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Light rain and snow showers preceded and accompanied a strong cold front through southeast Pennsylvania the morning of the 30th. Accumulations were only a couple of tenths of an inch. Temperatures dropped sharply from above to below the freezing mark as the cold air came rushing in. This permitted the snow to initially melt, but then the water froze as temperatures fell and formed black ice. Numerous accidents were reported in Northern Chester and Montgomery Counties and Southeast Berks County, especially between 730 a.m. and 830 a.m. EST. |
