Record Early Snow In Pennsylvania

As much as 9 inches of heavy, wet snow fell in central Pennsylvania on Thursday and Friday (OCT 15-16), with 4.7 inches at State College. Large tree limbs and power lines are down across northern Pennsylvania including in State College. This is typical with such a heavy snow this early in the season because the snow more easily sticks to the branches which still have their leaves. For many areas, this was the earliest measurable snowfall on record. See more here.

Snow also accumulated in New York State and even parts of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
