Ice Storm, McKean

When

McKean forecast zone
Reported by
EMERGENCY MANAGER
Coordinates
41.808, -78.569 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Low pressure tracked northeast from the lower Mississippi Valley Sunday morning, crossing Ohio Sunday night into northwest Pennsylvania early Monday. Moisture pulled northward ahead of the system fell as a wintery mixture, beginning as snow and sleet, but quickly changing to freezing rain across a large part of central Pennsylvania. Ice collected on trees and formed a glaze on highways, causing numerous traffic accidents. Access to Harrisburg over Susquehanna bridges was crippled, as pileups occurred on the Clarks Ferry Bridge, and the I-81 and I-83 bridges leading into the city. Schools were closed across much of the region on Monday due to the weather.
