Cold
weather will return to Pennsylvania this week. A potent
cold front will push through Happy Valley around midday,
bringing showers, gusty winds and falling temperatures.
High pressure will then provide fair weather for much of
the weekend, with mostly sunny skies and seasonal
temperatures prevailing until the next low pressure
system approaches the area early next week.

Highlight
The front that brought rain to State College yesterday bestowed the Midwest with severe winter weather. Up to three inches of ice formed on power lines, roads, and sidewalks from Oklahoma to northern Indiana, knocking out power and causing numerous traffic accidents. This treacherous storm claimed fifteen lives and injured many others as it dumped freezing rain and snow over the northern plains and Great Lakes.
