Do you fondly remember cold, snowy winters that lasted for months? (Because winter is literally supposed to last three months.) Well… Cue the turntable scratch effect. Because if frosty memories are your thing, you probably already want to forget about the winter of 2019-2020, which has been a dud for anyone who fantasizes about fresh powder or gets misty-eyed for a mercury thermometer plunged past zero.
According to forecasters, colder air and precipitation will invade our area in time for the weekend, which is when several events that will help kick off the holiday season are planned.
If you think it feels more like January than early November, you’re not alone. Temperatures have taken a nose dive throughout the area due to an invasion of Arctic air; an invasion that will receive a reinforcement on Tuesday, when snow is also possible.
In the wake of a winter storm that generally deposited three to four inches of snow on the area early Saturday, another more potent snowstorm is taking aim at the Lehigh Valley.
Where is warmer weather? Although March 1 is what is referred to as the start of meteorological spring, it won’t be feeling spring-like in the Lehigh Valley for the foreseeable future, according to forecasters.
Are you feeling under the weather and unsure about whether you want to go out in winter weather to see a doctor? With the free St. Luke’s app, it’s never been easier to have a live, on-demand video visit with a physician who can help diagnose and treat you.
Are you worried about because it’s cold and you’re already struggling to pay your home heating bills this winter? Do you know someone who is? If so, financial assistance from Pennsylvania’s LIHEAP program may be available.
In the wake of Tuesday’s snowstorm, winter continued its assault of Saucon Valley Wednesday, with a one-two punch of severe weather. A snow squall in the afternoon was followed by an invastion of bitterly cold Arctic air and gusty winds.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory and increased its forecast snowfall totals for the Lehigh Valley for Tuesday, when hazardous conditions created by the precipitation could affect local commuters headed to work and school.
Winter weather followed by bitter cold is again on tap for the Lehigh Valley this week, but when the snow will fall as well as how much the area can expect to receive is uncertain as of late Sunday.
