The winter storm has passed.

Next up… warmer weather and rain, maybe freezing rain. Then back to your regularly-scheduled winter.

The high was in the single-digits and wind-chills were down to 30-below Monday. And, much of Warren County was dealing with a foot or so of snow.

Warren County was one of the hardest-hit locations in the state as far as snowfall, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

“Overall the weekend was good and the snow amounts ended up around 12 inches,” PennDOT Maintenance Manager Adam Elms said. “Drifting snow from the wind makes snow amounts appear to vary across the county.”

There was a wind chill warning in effect Monday and the wind is expected to kick back up and bring the wind-chill temperature back to about 15-below at about 7 a.m. Tuesday. “The cold wind chills could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 30 minutes,” according to the warning.

The temperature is expected to rise for the rest of the day, approaching freezing.

It will be even warmer Wednesday, but that is not entirely good news.

“The yo-yo temperatures continue,” NWS Meteorologist Charles Ross said. “There’s going to be some weather to deal with.”

“We’ve got the cold weather now,” he said. “It’s going to be quite warm (Wednesday).” Maybe even 40 degrees.

But, “it’s going to take some time for it to get above freezing at the surface,” Ross said. “We have precipitation coming in Wednesday morning. It comes in, initially it’s going to be a close call whether it’s going to be some freezing rain or sleet. Eventually it’s going to turn into a cold rain.”

Then, “snow Wednesday night. We’ll start cooling off. Cold to end the week.”
