Light snow storm to arrive Sunday

LOCK HAVEN — Winter is looking to provide a reminder that it isn’t done with us just yet, as a snow storm is approaching on Sunday. We will be spared the worst of it for sure — if you have a trip to Philadelphia area on Sunday, you might want to reconsider — but models are still indicating around 4″ of accumulation as the most likely for us.

While that pales in comparison to the foot-plus that southeastern Pennsylvania is looking at, this storm will potentially have just enough juice in it to gum things up here Sunday afternoon and evening. As of Friday afternoon, the National Weather Service was eying 2-4,” but confidence was fairly low.

The evolution of the storm’s track has wobbled a lot over the past week, with the storm originally taking aim at the mid-Atlantic but seeming to veer out to sea much sooner on its way. Over the past week, that course has shifted to once again be more in our neck of the woods — although, again, the worst of the storm isn’t headed here.

Look for temperatures to cool down a bit early next week, with highs in the low 30s by Tuesday, which will ensure that whatever amount we actually end up with on Sunday will be sticking around for a few days.

Highs will return to the mid-40s by the middle of the week, however, so melting should resume soon enough.

Looking ahead at the future model runs — with a grain of salt, of course — a fairly substantial ice storm is possible towards next weekend. But, for as much as these things tend to change, just keep a half an eye on it for now. If it ends up happening, there will be more detailed warnings.

Starting at $3.69/week.
