Morning snow, then flurries
Today's University Park forecast

A late afternoon snowfall yesterday, combined with vigorous snow showers associated with a cold front this morning, will leave 5 to 6 inches of snow on the ground by sunset. Blustery northwest winds associated with this frontal passage will blow the fallen snow around and create low wind chill readings. Temperatures will reach the low 20s by afternoon and will dip to near 10 for tomorrow morning’s walk to class. For the rest of the week, scattered snow showers will remain, along with the chance of additional accumulating snow by week’s end.
