Mostly Sunny Monday; More Snow Tuesday!
7:15PM UPDATE: Tonight will feature some very cold air once again. Lows will bottom out in the single digits for most of us across the county. A scattered snow shower is possible. Presidents Day is looking mostly sunny! Clouds will begin to increase during the afternoon ahead of our next clipper system. Highs will top out in the upper 20's.
All eyes turn to our next snow event: It will be another nuisance snowfall. If you've made it this far, you can surely handle what lies ahead. Snow showers will break out anytime after midnight on Tuesday. Light to moderate snow will continue through the morning commute. Totals won't be too impressive. Overall, I'm going with a general 1-3" across Schuylkill County. Even though it's not much, it's one of those events that will occur at just the right time to effect your ride to work/school.

More snow by Tuesday?
8:00PM UPDATE: Good evening! So it looks like everyone saw a general 3 to 7 inches of fresh snow today. I don't know bout you, but I'm sick of shoveling. Tonight will be COLD and WINDY. Gusts could reach 35mph at times. Watch out for blowing and drifting snow if traveling tonight. Sunday will bring us a mix of sun and clouds. It will be cold with highs in the lower 20's. Winds will be be with us once again with gusts to 20-25mph at times. A snow shower is possible.
Yes, more accumulating snow is headed our way. Our next system will get here during the early morning hours Tuesday. As of now, it looks like sometime between 12am and 2am. Snow will wrap up before the noon hour. Totals look to range from 3-6" across the area.
