] Today's
University Park forecast
Snow!
Need one say anymore? The snow of Sunday and last night
has since moved to the north and east following the low
pressure system out to sea. However, another upper-level
disturbance will bring the renewed chance for light snow
over the region again today. As this system exits, Centre
county will will have a brief reprieve of sunny
conditions before a weak system from Canada attempts to
cover the area with clouds and a little more light snow
for the middle of the week.

Highlight
Happy Valley is not the only region to see snow recently as Athens, Greece, and Turkey's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts saw up to three feet of snow. This is terribly unusual for the region and military personel were called in to make numerous rescues. The heavy snow also forced a delegation of U.S. senators to cancel their trip to Istanbul. Many remote towns are still unreachable as roads remain impassible.
