The snow storm, which began in some parts of the state early yesterday morning, dropped anywhere from a few inches to a foot of snow on the state and surrounding states, said Ron Chubb, Centre County PennDot roadway programs coordinator.

According to The Associated Press, mountaintops in the state could receive up to 2 feet of accumulation by today.

Although some regions experienced a significant amount of snow, Chubb said last night no roadways have been closed due to the weather conditions.

However, the Rockview State Police reported the snow is responsible for several minor traffic accidents. Trooper Joseph Cigich of the state police said he is concerned about morning traffic.

"If snow continues falling, it'll be pretty treacherous by morning," he said.

Chubbs also expressed similar concerns about possible freezing temperatures in the early morning hours, causing even more hazardous conditions for travelers.

"You have to drive defensively in this kind of weather," he said.

Students who traveled by air may also have found difficulty arriving in State College on time or even at all yesterday.

U.S. Airways Express and United Express both had several flight delays and cancellations, mostly from locations east and south of Centre County.

To the south, snow accumulations were expected to be much higher, possibly near a foot, Hannon said. The storm was expected to hit the area between western Maryland and Harrisburg especially hard, she added.

Despite the snowy conditions, temperatures should become more moderate later this week, Hannon said.
