Low pressure moved east across Pennsylvania late on Super Bowl Sunday, dropping moderate to heavy snow across much of the central part of the state. By late evening, a second area of low pressure developed along the Delaware coast and moved northeast, strengthening over New Jersey. Heaviest snow fell across the Susquehanna region as the low over Delaware added moisture to the system. Accumulations of about 6 inches or more extended east of a line from Somerset to State College to Laporte. About 10 to 12 inches were reported across the higher elevations west of Gettysburg, in Schuylkill County northeast of Pottsville, and in Columbia and Sullivan counties.
