Berks County, Pennsylvania, experienced its largest snowfall of the season over the past weekend. The Reading area recorded just over two inches of snow, while other parts of the region saw between five and seven inches. According to PennLive, the snowstorm was part of a larger system that moved through central Pennsylvania, bringing higher accumulations south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike and east of the Susquehanna River.
As reported by WFMZ, the snowfall was accompanied by frigid temperatures and wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour. The National Weather Service issued a Cold Weather Advisory for Carbon and Monroe counties, with wind chills expected to drop as low as negative 10 to negative 15 degrees. Residents are advised to bundle up and take precautions against frostbite and hypothermia.
Despite the snowfall having ended, drivers are cautioned to watch for snow that may have blown across previously cleared roads. The cold temperatures are expected to persist, but conditions should improve by mid-week, with temperatures forecasted to rise into the 40s.
