...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM FRIDAY TO 8 AM EDT
SATURDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE HAS ISSUED A WINTER
WEATHER ADVISORY FOR HEAVY SNOW...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 2 AM
FRIDAY TO 8 AM EDT SATURDAY. THE WINTER STORM WATCH IS NO LONGER
IN EFFECT.

A STORM DEVELOPING OVER THE OHIO VALLEY THIS MORNING WILL SPREAD
RAIN INTO THE REGION TODAY. THE RAIN WILL MIX WITH SNOW AT
TIMES TODAY ON THE RIDGES...BUT LITTLE OR NO ACCUMULATION IS
EXPECTED BEFORE SUNSET. THE PRECIPITATION WILL TURN TO MAINLY SNOW
OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS LATER TONIGHT. THE VALLEYS WILL HAVE
RAIN FOR MOST OF TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE SNOW LEVEL WILL START TO
LOWER DOWN TO ELEVATIONS BELOW 1400 FEET LATE TONIGHT. WHILE MUCH
OF FRIDAY WILL ALSO ONLY HOLD RAIN FOR THE VALLEYS...THE SNOW
LEVEL SHOULD THEN LOWER EVEN FURTHER AFTER SUNSET ON FRIDAY.

THIS SNOW WILL BE A VERY HEAVY AND WET SNOW WITH A HIGH WATER-
CONTENT. THE HEAVIEST OF THE ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE OVER THE HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. THE VALLEY LOCATIONS SHOULD HAVE LITTLE SNOW ON THE
GROUND UNTIL FRIDAY NIGHT. BUT...EVEN THE VALLEYS WILL GET AN
INCH OR TWO OF THIS SLUSHY SNOW BY SATURDAY MORNING. MOST OF THE
ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR AT NIGHT...AS THE WARMING EFFECT OF THE
SUN IS MUCH STRONGER NOW THAN IT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER.

THIS HEAVY WET SNOW WILL COLLECT MAINLY ON THE TREES AND COLDER
SURFACES...BUT THE ROADS MAY BE GENERALLY WET AS THE GROUND IS
STILL RELATIVELY WARM. THE HEAVY WET SNOW ON TREES THAT STILL HAVE
MOST OF THE LEAVES ON THEM WILL LEAD TO TREE DAMAGE AND PERHAPS A
FEW POWER OUTAGES...MAINLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.

EXPECT A TOTAL OF ONLY 2 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW TO FALL BY SATURDAY
MORNING. AGAIN...THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL BE ON THE HIGHEST RIDGE
TOPS...AND MOST OF THE ACCUMULATIONS WILL OCCUR LATE TONIGHT AND
FRIDAY NIGHT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

CAUSE TRAVEL DIFFICULTIES. BE PREPARED FOR SNOW COVERED ROADS AND
LIMITED VISIBILITIES...AND USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING. MOTORISTS
SHOULD BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS ON BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES...WHERE
SLIPPERY SPOTS DEVELOP FIRST. STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR

[eathabs]

[Mach1Pilot]

I drove north on I99 in Central PA this morning at 0500... the snow line started as I approached Altoona with a dusting on the ground there. At Skytop mountian just West of State College there appeared to be 4-5 inches on the ground judging by the depth of the snow on the road. Very few plows running, I think the crews were caught by surprise on this one.

In State College there was about 2" on the ground at 0530..

I love snow but it is way too early for this!
